Ocular Biobank

An ocular biobank is a specialized facility that collects, stores, and manages eye tissue and biological samples, such as corneas, retina, or aqueous humor. These samples are used for research to better understand eye diseases, develop new treatments, and improve eye care. By maintaining a well-organized repository of high-quality specimens, ocular biobanks support scientists and clinicians in advancing knowledge about vision loss, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye conditions, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and preserve sight.
