Lipoxin A4 and its analogs have been discovered to promote the cell proliferation of cornea endothelial cells, and thus promote the proper functioning of the labile tissue layer of cornea endothelial cells. These lipoxin compounds can be administered alone or in combination with other known compounds as a solution that can be topically administered to decrease the swelling of the cornea or maintain the clarity of the cornea. Lipoxin A4 or its analogs can also be combined with other known nutritive compounds to form a solution for storage of a cornea prior to transplantation.
