corneal donation

Corneal donation involves donating the clear, front surface of the eye (the cornea) after death to help restore or improve someone else's vision. When a person agrees to donate their corneas, medical professionals carefully remove them, ensuring the eyes are preserved properly. The donated corneas are then transplanted into individuals who have damaged or diseased corneas, helping them see clearly again. This process is safe, respectful, and significantly benefits recipients, offering them improved quality of life. Corneal donation is a vital contribution that can transform lives through the gift of sight.
