Eye donation

Blindness is a big source of concern in today’s environment. According to the WHO, corneal abnormalities are the leading cause of blindness after cataracts and glaucoma. The majority of these disabilities are treatable, particularly through eye donation, which refers to donating one’s eyes after death. One can give the cornea of the eye, like any other bodily organ, after death. This helps provide vision to the blind.

Donated eyeballs can be used to help persons with corneal blindness regain their eyesight. Use the front, clear, and transparent tissue of the eye called the cornea to restore a corneal blind person’s eyesight. For research and training, employ the other parts of the eye to discover remedies for prevalent illnesses. Two blind persons will get vision and light from each pair of donated eyes, making their lives more wonderful.

Eye donation

The act of donating one’s eyes after death is known as eye donation. It is a completely voluntary act of generosity for the benefit of society. If the dead has not donated his or her eyes before death, this kin can allow the deceased’s eye donation. Age or systemic illnesses such as diabetes or hypertension, heart disease, or renal disease do not exclude eye donation. Even if a person has had previous eye procedures, their corneas remain undamaged. Hence, it is valuable and can be transplanted in others.

We need to hold several social awareness campaigns and events around the country to educate people about the importance of eye donation and its use to the visually impaired. Until the development of replacement corneas, medical experts and doctors believe that donating the eyes would be the finest present ever for a blind individual suffering from corneal blindness.

Who can donate?

People of all ages and genders can sign up to give their eyes. People with refractive abnormalities such as hyperopia and myopia, as well as those suffering from conditions such as high blood pressure, can also donate their eyes. Certain disorders, however, do not preclude patients from donating their eyeballs, including Hepatitis B and C, AIDS, rabies, septicaemia, tetanus, cholera, acute leukaemia (blood cancer), and infectious diseases such as encephalitis and meningitis.

How to become an eye donor

Because eye donation takes place only after death, it is important to make a vow to donate the eyes to a registered eye bank. After reviewing the information and submitting the form, the next step is to notify family/friends of the choice. To allow the gift to take place, one must obtain the next of kin’s approval in the presence of two witnesses at the moment of the donation.

Things to keep in mind before donating:

  1. Donate eyes even if the dead individual has not explicitly promised to give the eyes.
  2. The deceased’s family members can choose to make the decision .
  3. A person who wears glasses or has a cataract can also give their eyes.
  4. One individual receives a grafted cornea.
  5. Eye donation causes no deformity and does not interfere with traditional funeral rites.
  6. It is critical to lift the deceased person’s head by at least six inches prior to the eye donation.
