First Issue of Eye Banking and Corneal Transplantation Released!

January 9, 2023

EBAA is proud to announce the inaugural issue of Eye Banking and Corneal Transplantation, the successor to the International Journal of Eye Banking. 

This new publication partners EBAA with Wolters Kluwer, one of the world’s foremost scientific journal publishers. This journal extends the reach and impact of research on the issues most relevant to our profession while expanding the scope of discoveries we can share with our members. Wolters Kluwer is applying for indexing, and all content published in IJEB is grandfathered into EBCT’s archives.

Published quarterly to start, and more frequently as submissions warrant, EBCT is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that draws on the knowledge and efforts of eye bankers, physicians, and researchers from around the world. We invite you to submit your work for publication consideration.

We look forward to building on IJEB’s success and continuing EBAA’s commitment to supporting and disseminating important research examining corneal donation, preparation, and transplantation. Thank you in advance for your support.

Eye Banking and Corneal Transplantation

This inaugural issue includes:

Acute Endothelial Allograft Rejection following Inoculation with the Novel Messenger RNA SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines

Dorian Ariel Zeidenweber, MD; Anthony J. Aldave, MD; and Simon SM Fung, MD
