Donate Eyes
Pledge your Eyes today to help them see a better tomorrow
Eye donation is a gift of sight that can transform the lives of those suffering from corneal blindness. Millions of people, including children and adults, lose their vision due to corneal damage, yet a simple act of donation can restore their ability to see. Since only human corneas can be transplanted, eye donation is the only way to help them. It’s a selfless act that lives on even after death, bringing light into someone’s world. With a quick and painless process, your donation can change two lives. Pledge your eyes today and leave behind a legacy of vision!
What you need to know
- Anyone can donate their eyes, regardless of age, gender, or medical history (including diabetes, hypertension, or prior eye surgery).
- Eye donation is voluntary and can be pledged at any eye bank. Even if not pledged, family members can donate on behalf of the deceased.
- No cost or payment is involved; the donor and recipient remain confidential. However, recipients may have to pay a processing fee.
- Only the cornea is used for transplantation; eyeballs are never sold.
- Timing is crucial—eyes must be removed within 4-6 hours of death, so contacting the nearest eye bank quickly is essential.
- The procedure is quick (around 20 minutes), causes no facial disfigurement, and does not delay funeral arrangements.
- A death certificate from the treating physician is mandatory.
