Abstract
Purpose: To examine corneal sealants and adhesives in the pre-clinical phase of development to guide future development.
Method: A systematic review of major databases from inception to 4th March 2025.
Results: Corneal sealants and adhesives can be broadly divided into biological and synthetic groups. These are further categorized by their methods of adhesion activation. This review identified the following groups: human fibrin glue, cyanoacrylates, biodendrimers, polyethylene glycol, fibrinogen, albumin, collagen, gelatin, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, dextran, and chitosan. Burst pressures are often reported as a measure of sealing efficacy. Ideal characteristics for future development include biocompatibility, tolerate high burst pressure, on-demand activation, accelerates healing, and does no transmit infection.
Conclusion: A variety of corneal sealants and adhesives are in development. To seal corneal wounds sealants and adhesive should have a range of properties to prevent leak.
