Abstract

Ocular tissues from donors with seropositivity to HTLV, CMV, and/or EBV can be used for transplantation per current EBAA guidelines. Despite the potential for ocular infection by these viruses, there are no reported cases of viral transmission from ocular tissue transplantation, affirming the validity of the current EBAA guidelines.
