The Cornea Preservation Time Study (CPTS) found that cornea transplant success and the number of endothelial cells present three years following surgery was similar up to 11 days of storage of the donor.  The study also elucidated other donor, recipient, operative, and postoperative factors that could also influence transplant outcomes.  Details are in the linked presentations and publications.
