  • Resumen

  • Corneal blindness has a significant public health impact, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access to eye care is limited. It can contribute to a high burden of disability, affecting individuals' quality of life and economic productivity, while straining healthcare systems with the need for preventive measures, surgical treatments, and rehabilitation services.

    In the latest episode of New Insight, host Veeral Sheth, MD is joined by John Sheets, PhD, the president, chief executive officer, and co-founder of Pantheon Vision, a pioneering early research-stage organization working to develop bioengineered solutions to eliminate corneal blindness and restore sight to millions.

    As part of its mission, Pantheon is dedicated to reducing reliance on donated corneal tissues to address corneal blindness. Although corneal transplant surgery has long been the gold standard, there remains significant room for improvement in graft acceptance, vision restoration, and long-term outcomes to better combat corneal blindness.
