My teacher said eye donation is actually cornea donation.So,it doesn't mean if the donor had green eyes ,the recipient would get green eye after donation.Because iris is not donated which is responsible for color of eyes.
Eye donation is the act of donating one's eyes after death for the purpose of transplantation to a person in need. It is important because it can help restore vision in individuals who are blind or have corneal diseases, improving their quality of life.
Yes, anyone can donate their eyes regardless of age, gender, or medical history. Even individuals with glasses, cataracts, or other eye conditions can still donate their eyes.
Eye donation benefits society by providing corneas for transplantation, which can help restore vision in those who are blind or have corneal diseases. It also promotes awareness about the importance of eye donation and encourages more people to become donors.
After a person's death, a trained medical professional removes the corneas from the deceased's eyes. This process is quick and does not affect the appearance of the deceased. The corneas are then preserved and used for transplantation.
You can become an eye donor by signing up for the eye donation registry in your state or country. You can also indicate your wish to donate your eyes on your driver's license or by informing your family members about your decision. It is important to discuss your decision with your family so they can carry out your wishes after your passing.
