Eye Banking
Eye banking is the process of collecting, preserving, and distributing human eye tissue for transplantation and research. This tissue, primarily corneas, is vital for restoring sight to individuals suffering from vision impairments or diseases. Eye banks work closely with hospitals and donor families to ensure that the donation process is respectful and efficient.
Once the eye tissue is donated, it undergoes thorough screening and evaluation to ensure its safety and suitability for transplantation. Trained professionals then prepare the tissue for use in surgeries, helping thousands of people regain their vision each year through the efforts of eye banks and their dedicated staff.
