Hello,
Eye donation is one of the noble act which will help two corneal blind people to see, thereby gives vision to two blind people.
Eye donation is done only after death.
Prior registration that you are willing to donate the eyes after death at near by eye bank, but is not mandatory as consent from the near and dear ones of the deseased person is mandatory for eye collection.
After registration eye bank will issue a identity card which has to be carried always as this will help in knowing about the decision taken by a person in case of his or her death.
The near by eye bank as to be called within 6 hours of death of the person, team consisting of ophthalmologist will come to the place of death and collect eye ball. This is absolutely done at free of cost.
The collected eye ball is analyzed and investigated to rule out contrindications for eye
transplantation and used for keratoplasty, a surgery involving the transplantation of cornea to the corneal blind person.
Thank you
