Research abstract
There has been a recent rise in the rate of fungal infections following corneal transplant surgeries over the last six yearsand most cases have been tied to donor to recipient transmissionWhile preliminary studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of adding antifungal agents to the corneal storage media to minimize the risk of infectionthe shelf life of these antifungal agents is significantly less than the shelf life of the corneal storage mediaIn order to develop a commercializable solutionLuna is investigating methods of stabilizing antifungal agents for inclusion in corneal storage media solutions to create a shelf stable product with antifungal functionality
