The present invention features a superporous hydrogel scaffold for corneal regeneration or replacement and a method for producing the same. The superporous hydrogel is composed of a poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) copolymer mixed with collagen. The scaffold can be used as a suturable hybrid corneal implant or keratoprosthesis.
