Summary
Seeking information, interest and capabilities on novel and enhanced modalities for optic nerve imaging. The Transplantation of Human Eye Allografts Program (THEA) program seeks to enable whole eye transplantation to restore vision for the blind and visually impaired. Today, we can transplant kidneys, hearts, livers, skin and even lungs, but we cannot transplant eyes due to major technical challenges in 1. keeping the donor eye viable. 2. reattaching the optic nerve and regrowing the nerves to the brain to restore vision and. 3. micro-reattachment of cranial nerves III-VI, blood vessels and muscles and immune modulation.
