The main goal of this project is to improve the quality of sight in patients with vision impairment due to corneal damage. By using artificial corneas instead of donated corneas, more transplants would be performed thus making the procedure available to a larger amount of patients.
Artificial corneas benefit the economy of America because they would reduce the amount of people handicapped due to sight impairment caused by corneal damage. Thus increasing the labor force, and bringing more revenue into the economy.
I plan to major in Biomedical Engineering and the purpose of this field is to blend biological sciences, engineering, and medicine in order to improve the overall quality of human health and life.
Essentially artificial corneas will provide people with the ability of sight and increase the revenue of the American economy.
Blindness due to corneal damage is treatable and can be rid through surgery, and using artificial corneas allows for more life changes surgeries to be performed.
