If the quality is really over the top, then I'm actually quite willing.
As we all know, at present, the donor for corneal transplantation can only rely on donations, and few people can really wait for such an opportunity, most patients can only be slowly disappointed in the waiting.
It is difficult to rely solely on unpaid donations, and our traditional thinking is that we must leave our bodies intact after death, so few people will agree to donate a part of their relative's body.
The result is that there are too many people waiting to donate, and too few actually waiting.
If artificial corneas could really be realized instead, it would be a boon to patients. They would no longer have to wait endlessly, and the hope of restoring their sight would be immediate.
One, if there is no problem with the quality of the artificial cornea, then people will surely be willing to use it ah.
According to the public information, after installing the artificial cornea, the recovery can be as good as 1.0 vision.
What is this concept? It's the equivalent of having your vision completely normalized.
If the artificial cornea is affordable and can completely replace the traditional cornea, then I believe the majority of patients will choose to use it.
The key problem is that the general public doesn't know enough about artificial corneas, so they are skeptical about the quality and price, which is the most important reason why they don't choose them easily.
When asked if they are willing to use it, they will of course not dare to answer yes. Just like when we didn't know about cochlear implants, not many people dared to choose them.
As long as the information is popularized and people's doubts are removed, then they will choose to use it.
Secondly, the question of the life span of the artificial cornea is the most crucial, which is the most concerned issue.
Artificial cornea is after all different from natural things, man-made things have a use period. So how long is the service life of this artificial cornea, and can it reach the point where patients can choose it willingly?
In fact, the key to this question is a cost-effective issue, if the service life is long enough and the effect of use is good, then everyone will certainly have no problem.
Based on the current service life of some artificial medical devices, cardiac stents can reach more than 10 years, and cochlear implants are generally decades without problems, so this time the artificial cornea can reach how long?
Secondly, there is still a difference between clinical use and general promotion, and it is still unknown when the artificial cornea can be widely used.
However, technological progress is ultimately a good thing, and we are all becoming more and more able to feel the power of technology, and our lives are getting better and better.
It is hoped that soon our lives will change even more because of technology.
