As a not-for-profit foundation , the mission of The Corneal Transplant Foundation is to provide information on corneal transplantation, support corneal transplant research and assist economically disadvantaged patients in obtaining corneal transplants. There is severe shortage of human cadaver corneas for corneal transplants. The Corneal Transplant Foundation works closely with LinCor Biosciences (www.lincorbio.com). LinCor Biosciences created an affordable bioengineered replacement cornea to aid with solving world blindness. The company’s cornea is the result of ten years of research and development conducted at the University of Ottawa in Canada and Linkoping University in Sweden. The company was founded with the express objective of furthering development of the bioengineered cornea, and providing this cornea to the millions of people unilaterally or bilaterally blind from corneal disease or injury and unable to obtain a corneal transplant due to a severe shortage of human donor corneas.
