Despite the fact that various collagen biomaterials have been actively used in ophthalmology for more than 30 years, the problem of creating a material that could replace the donor cornea have not been solved. Recent advances in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have shifted the focus of approaches to solving the problem of creating an artificial cornea towards laying conditions for the restoration of its specific layers through mechanisms of its own cellular regeneration. In this regard, extracellular matrices based on collagen are gaining popularity. This review discusses general limitations and advantages of collagen for creating an artificial cornea.
