The US eye banking community occupies a distinct sector within the spectrum of vision services and global public health efforts. Alignment with the IPEC model and these global priorities is a logical development for the cornea and eye banking sector, and addressing gaps in the evidence base for corneal disease will serve to strengthen these efforts.","PeriodicalId":225499,"journal":{"name":"Eye Banking and Corneal Transplantation","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127399786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
