A biotechnology startup in Bengaluru is developing an experimental **“liquid cornea” hydrogel therapy** designed to repair damaged corneal tissue and potentially reduce the need for donor corneal transplants. The treatment uses a **bioengineered hydrogel biomaterial** that is applied to the damaged cornea. When exposed to light, it solidifies and forms a transparent scaffold that supports cell growth and tissue regeneration. This innovation is significant because **corneal blindness affects millions worldwide** , and there is a major shortage of donor corneas, with only about **one donor cornea available for every 70 patients who need a transplant**. If successful, such regenerative therapies could transform how corneal injuries and diseases are treated. 👉 **Read the full article:** [https://www.medboundtimes.com/biotechnology/hydrogel-liquid-cornea-therapy-for-corneal-blindness](https://www.medboundtimes.com/biotechnology/hydrogel-liquid-cornea-therapy-for-corneal-blindness) Share your thoughts and stay tuned for more updates on emerging medical innovations.

I think, to increase the donors, lot of awareness camps be conducted bit more often like every other camps, and that is the only option is available I think. ---

Such innovative startups would definitely bring a breakthrough in achieving independence on traditional transplants of other organs or delicate tissues requiring a successive donor person. I hope more regenerative therapies may develop in future for solving this real challenging question in front of current healthcare professionals. ---
