Answer:

The cornea is an avascular tissue.

Explanation:

Since the cornea doesn't have any blood vessels the body's immune system is less likely to detect the foreign graft, and therefore, rejection is unlikely (although possible).

For the same reason, the lack of blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients will greatly slow the healing process. That is why this transplant can take so long to heal. For most people, it can take between 6 to 12 weeks to fully recover from the surgery.
