Eye Bank
An Eye Bank is a non-profit organization that collects, processes, and distributes human eye tissue for transplantation and research. The primary goal is to restore vision to individuals suffering from corneal blindness or other eye conditions. Eye Banks work closely with hospitals and donor families to ensure that donated tissues are handled with care and respect.
Once the eye tissue is collected, it undergoes thorough testing and evaluation to ensure its safety and suitability for transplantation. The tissue is then stored and made available to surgeons who perform procedures to help patients regain their sight, significantly improving their quality of life.
