Objective: Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biopolymer whose application has been limited due to the difficulty introduce modifiable functional groups onto its network. The present study introduces new from chitosan (Chs) by in-situ method and further modified crosslinking with genipin (Gp), non-toxic agent. Methodology Results: cellulose-chitosan (BC-Chs) hydrogels were synthesized insitu, dried,...

Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) can cause vision disabilities in highly myopic eyes. This retrospective case series investigated the clinical outcomes of posterior scleral contraction (PSC) using genipin-cross-linked sclera as the material to treat MTM in highly myopic eyes. In total, 32 eyes from 29 highly myopic patients who underwent PSC for MTM were recruited. The changes in best-correcte...
