This study provides further insight into the behaviour of corneal nerves in transplanted corneas. Corneal stromal nerves/nerve-sheaths are preserved in organ-cultured eye bank eyes and persist post-transplantation up to 3 months. These could provide directional guidance to regenerating nerves from host stroma.
