UNDERSTANDING EYE DONATION

What is Eye Donation?

Eye donation is the voluntary decision to donate one's eyes after death so that the donated corneal tissue may help restore vision in people suffering from corneal blindness.

A single decision can potentially help more than one person regain the ability to see. Eye donation is a simple act of generosity that can continue your legacy by giving someone the gift of sight.

Restore Vision

Donated corneal tissue can help restore sight in suitable recipients.

Help Others

Your donation can make a meaningful difference to people affected by corneal blindness.

A Gift That Lives On

Eye donation allows your generosity to continue beyond your lifetime.

THE JOURNEY OF EYE DONATION

How Eye Donation Works

A simple act of generosity can become a journey towards restoring someone's sight.

Make the Decision

Decide during your lifetime that you wish to donate your eyes after death and share your decision with your family.

Inform the Eye Bank

After death, the family or representative should contact the eye bank or designated eye donation service as soon as possible.

Corneal Retrieval

Trained professionals carry out the eye or corneal retrieval procedure respectfully and according to established medical protocols.

Gift of Sight

Suitable donated corneal tissue may be used for transplantation in patients who need corneal treatment.

Timely information is important

If a person has pledged their eyes, the family should contact the eye bank or relevant donation service promptly after death so that the donation process can be initiated in time.

WHO CAN DONATE?

Your Decision Can Give Sight

Eye donation is a generous decision that can help restore sight to people affected by corneal blindness.

Almost Anyone Can Pledge

People of many ages and backgrounds can make the decision to donate their eyes after death. The final suitability of the donated tissue is assessed by trained professionals after death.

Don't assume you are ineligible.

Discuss your decision with your family.

Inform the eye bank promptly after death.

Age

Age alone does not necessarily prevent someone from pledging their eyes. Suitability is assessed by the eye bank after death.

Health Conditions

Having certain medical conditions does not automatically mean that you cannot pledge your eyes. The eye bank determines suitability at the time of donation.

Vision or Eye Problems

Wearing glasses or having certain eye conditions does not automatically rule out eye donation.

Family's Role

Tell your family about your decision so that they know your wishes and can contact the eye bank when required.

Remember

Pledging your eyes does not guarantee that the tissue will be suitable for transplantation. Suitability is determined by the eye bank's medical team after death.
