Abstract

K-Sol, a new cornea preserving solution which contains no calf serum of foreign protein and is used for refrigerated storage of donor tissue, has storage procedures identical to those currently used for tissue preservation in McCarey-Kaufman medium. K-Sol can keep corneas alive and usable for penetrating keratoplasty for at least two weeks. The clinical results in a series of 17 patients indicated that tissue preserved in K-Sol for as long as two weeks, even when used by inexperienced surgeons in difficult or unfavorable cases requiring extensive anterior segment reconstruction, including reoperations or retained intraocular lenses, gave results virtually identical to those obtained with tissue preserved in McCarey-Kaufman medium for only two or three days.
