PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an artificial cornea and a manufacturing method of the artificial cornea capable of forming the artificial cornea of a desired thickness, and forming the two sides of the artificial cornea to a desired surface state.SOLUTION: Cornea formation surfaces 4 of two surfaces on which an artificial cornea 1 is formed are caused to face each other. A base material 2 for forming the artificial cornea is arranged in an environment where a biological tissue material is present. The artificial cornea 1 is formed on the cornea formation surfaces 4. The two surfaces of the artificial cornea 1 are formed, matching the cornea formation surfaces 4. The space of the cornea formation surfaces 4 is set suitably. The artificial cornea 1 of a desired thickness is formed. The cornea formation surfaces 4 are formed to a smooth surface. The two sides of the artificial cornea 1 are formed to a desired surface state such as the smooth surface.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】所望の厚さの人工角膜を形成することができ、しかも、人工角膜の両面を所望の表面状態に形成することのできる人工角膜及び人工角膜の生産方法の提供。【解決手段】人工角膜1を形成する二面の角膜形成面4を互いに対向させる。人工角膜形成用基材2を生体組織材料の存在する環境に配置する。角膜形成面4に人工角膜1を形成する。人工角膜1の両面が角膜形成面4に合って形成される。角膜形成面4の間隔を適宜設定する。所望の厚さの人工角膜1が形成される。角膜形成面4を平滑面に形成する。人工角膜1の両面が平滑面になどの所望の表面状態に形成される。【選択図】 図1
