Every year, people lose their sight because of diseases and damage affecting the cornea.
For some of them, a donated cornea can offer the possibility of restored vision.
Vanmukta Eye Bank at Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre works to facilitate eye donation and provide ocular tissue for transplantation, research and education.
Eye banks are institutions responsible for facilitating eye donation, recovering and processing donated ocular tissue and distributing suitable tissue to trained corneal surgeons for transplantation.
They also contribute to research and education related to eye disease and sight restoration.
Becoming an eye donor is one of the most meaningful decisions a person can make.
A suitable corneal donation may help restore sight to people affected by corneal blindness.
The gift can also contribute to research and education that advance understanding of eye diseases and future treatments.
From the decision to donate to the clinical process, every stage plays an important role in helping a gift of sight reach someone in need.
A person expresses their intention to donate their eyes.
The donor's family should know about the donor's wishes.
The appropriate eye-bank service should be contacted promptly after death.
The donated tissue is assessed for suitability.
Suitable ocular tissue is processed and preserved according to applicable procedures.
Suitable tissue is made available for transplantation through the appropriate clinical process.
Eye donation can support more than transplantation. Donated ocular tissue can also contribute to knowledge, training and the advancement of eye care.
For eye donation or emergency collection support, contact Vanmukta Eye Bank.
