Understanding Eye Donation

Eye donation is the act of donating the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, after death. Corneal transplantation helps restore vision in people suffering from corneal blindness caused by injury, infection, disease, or trauma.

The entire procedure is carried out respectfully by trained professionals and does not delay funeral arrangements or cause facial disfigurement.

One Eye Donation Can Transform Multiple Lives Through the Gift of Vision.

How the Eye Donation Process Works?

Eye donation begins with a voluntary pledge made during a person’s lifetime. Individuals can register themselves as eye donors through Centre For Sight Eye Bank and express their wish to donate their eyes after death. Although pledging is important, informing family members about the decision is equally essential so they can support the donation process when the time comes.

Understanding Corneal Blindness

Corneal blindness occurs when the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, becomes damaged, scarred, swollen, or cloudy, preventing light from entering the eye properly. Unlike retinal blindness, the optic nerve and retina may still function normally, making vision restoration possible through corneal transplantation.

Common Myths About Eye Donation

 
 
 
 
 
 

Myth 1

Myth: Eye Donation Causes Facial Disfigurement 
Fact: Eye donation is a respectful medical procedure performed by trained professionals. Only the corneal tissue is carefully retrieved, and the natural appearance of the face remains unchanged. The procedure does not interfere with funeral arrangements or religious customs.
