Eye donation

Eye donation is the process of giving the corneas, the clear front part of the eye, after someone has passed away. This altruistic act helps restore sight for individuals suffering from corneal blindness. The procedure is safe, usually takes place within hours after death, and does not alter the appearance of the donor. Eye banks are organizations that facilitate collection, evaluation, and distribution of donated corneas to those in need. Eye donation is a vital way to advance medical science and improve the quality of life for many, highlighting the importance of awareness and willingness to donate.
