The corneal endothelial scaffolds were prepared using carboxymethyl chitin (CMCT) or carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) as the main ingredient. The transmittances of the membranes were examined at different wavelengths. The properties of both membranes, including cytotoxicity, histocompatibility, degradability and cytocompatibility, were determined by experiments on cultured cells or rats. By contrast, the CMCT membrane proved to be a more promising candidate for constructing CEC endothelial scaffold.
