Shortage of Donor Eyes Poses Challenges for Corneal Transplants in India: Eye Experts

Bengaluru, 4th September 2023 : Distinguished experts in the field of ophthalmology have raised a red flag on a pressing concern that has the potential to impede corneal transplantations in India. A shortage of available donor eyes, crucial for successful transplant procedures, has emerged as a challenge casting a shadow over the landscape of ocular healthcare. The experts expressed their concern at an impactful awareness walkathon in Bengaluru, organised by Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital, a leading chain of eye hospital in India. The event was a part of the ongoing National Eye Donation Fortnight campaign, aimed at encouraging people to pledge their eyes and make a profound impact on the lives of those suffering from vision impairment.

More than 100 enthusiastic students from IPS School[Indira Priyadarshini School] and members of the public gathered at the Bannergatta Branch of Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital for the Walkathon. Carrying placards with messages promoting eye donation, the participants walked together, symbolizing their commitment to this noble cause

Dr Ravi Dorairaj, Regional Head Clinical Services, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital Bengaluru emphasized that the need for eye donations in India is highlighted by the prevalence of common causes of blindness and visual impairment, including cataracts, refractive errors, retinal diseases, corneal disorders, and glaucoma. For individuals with corneal blindness, the possibility of regaining functional vision through corneal transplantation surgery is a promising solution. However, a significant shortage of donated eyes has hindered the number of corneal transplants performed each year.

In Dr Agarwals Eye Bank, during the period of 2022-2023, a total of 5,521 eyes were donated from Karnataka, out of which 1,821 corneas were successfully used for transplants. However, only half of the collected corneas are deemed suitable for transplantation due to various factors. By raising awareness and dispelling myths, Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital aims to increase both the number of donations and the successful utilization of donated corneas says Dr Ravi Dorairaj, Regional Head Clinical Services , Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital.Technological advancements, such as PDEK & CAIRS, have introduced new dimensions to cornea transplantation, ensuring better outcomes for patients. Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital is at the forefront of these innovations, contributing to enhanced results in suitable candidates says Dr Ravi
