Patients needing cataract transplants at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center no
longer need to wait a year, as is the average in Israel.
Dr. David Varssano,
Head of Corneal Transplants, explains that the Medical Center has purchased a
cornea bank, which now enables many patients to undergo a transplant as a
routine procedure due to organ availability.
In the last seven months of 2016,
at least 75 patients began seeing more clearly thanks to transplants of donated
corneas.
