Many people still believe that all cornea transplants<\/a><\/b> are the same. They are not. And this misconception can make the difference between a slow, complex recovery with higher risks\u2026 or a much faster and more precise outcome. Dr. Josep Torras, a cornea specialist<\/a><\/b> ophthalmologist at Visionclinic, sees this every day in clinical practice: choosing the right technique directly impacts the patient\u2019s quality of life from day one. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
