Why this procedure was chosen
There is corneal tissue shortage both nationally and internationally. Despite the UK supplying us with a certain amount of <br/>tissues, that number is supplemented by supply from an external supplier. This<br/> supplier (Lions World Vision Institute) is also currently on our licence for import and has already met all Human Tissue Association stipulations.
