This contribution will report on nanofibrous scaffolds for corneal tissue engineering. By electrospinning, biodegradable nanofibers can be created that form a semitransparent layer. This can be used as a substrate for further cell seeding procedures. It is the goal to use this scaffold in ocular surface reconstruction.
