Question:

Which of the following eye part is 3D printed by Scientists in 2018?

Options:

Iris

Lens

Retina

Cornea

Correct Answer:

Cornea

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - Cornea

Cornea:

  • The cornea is the clear front portion of the eye, encompassing the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber.
  • Responsible for refracting light along with the anterior chamber and lens, the cornea plays a crucial role in vision.
  • Addressing the scarcity of eye donors, scientists have developed 3D printed human corneas, offering a potential solution.
  • This advancement aims to provide vision to millions suffering from blindness and prevent corneal blindness due to conditions like trachoma.
  • The dimensions of the printed cornea closely match those of an actual human cornea to ensure shape and size accuracy.
