What is Importance of Eye Donation in India about?

Corneal blindness is a major cause of blindness in India, with over 18,000 corneas needed annually to treat it but only around 100,000 collected. Any person can donate their eyes after death to help restore sight to those with corneal blindness. Donated eyes must be removed within six hours of death by an eye bank worker and are used to transplant corneal tissue into blind patients, allowing two people to regain vision from each donor.
