- - Corneal tissue is essential for restoring vision through transplantation, but there’s a significant shortage of available corneas, particularly in Mexico, which lags behind other countries in donation rates.
- - A study analyzed medical records of 185 cadaveric corneal donors in Querétaro, Mexico, focusing on various factors including age, cause of death, and serological health tests for viruses like HIV and COVID-19.
