Why Eye Donation Matters
Every year, millions of people suffer from corneal blindness — a condition that can be cured through a simple corneal transplant. When you pledge to donate your eyes after death, you give someone the priceless gift of sight. One donor can restore vision for TWO people.
Key Facts:
□ Eyes can be donated only after death (within 6 hours).
□ Age, gender, and blood group do NOT matter for eye donation.
□ Eye donation does NOT disfigure the face or delay funeral rites.
□ One pair of donated eyes can give sight to TWO corneal blind patients.
□ Anyone can be an eye donor — including spectacle or contact lens wearers.
