Endothelial Keratoplasty
PhD Book Design
Scroll down to learn more about our work on the book and cover design for a PhD dissertation centered on endothelial keratoplasty.
Client: Maastricht University
We collaborated with Maastricht University to design the PhD book cover and layout focused on ophthalmological research of endothelial keratoplasty.

02 - What is “endothelial keratoplasty”?
Our corneas stay hydrated due to an important layer of cells - the corneal endothelium. As we age, our endothelial cell density diminishes. In severe low-density cases, the cornea can become waterlogged and foggy - this is a corneal edema.
In the case of inherited condition Fuch’s Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy, the function of these endothelial cells declines faster than normal. A corneal transplant is required to restore clear vision.
Endothelial keratoplasty refers to a surgical technique for corneal transplantation. In this procedure, a thin layer of donor corneal tissue is transplanted into place without sutures.
03 - Our Solution ✨
We took an abstract, geometric approach towards Fuch’s Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy. The transition of dark to light, and interrupted waves to straight lines represents the restoration of site through endothelial keratoplasty.
