Eye banks are organizations that collect, process, and distribute donated human eye tissue for transplantation. They play a crucial role in restoring sight to individuals suffering from corneal blindness or other eye conditions. The donated tissue is carefully evaluated and preserved to ensure its safety and effectiveness for recipients. These banks work closely with hospitals, surgeons, and donor families to facilitate the donation process. By raising awareness about the importance of eye donation, eye banks aim to increase the number of available corneas, ultimately helping more people regain their vision and improve their quality of life.
