Become an Eye Donor Today
Every Eye Donation Creates a New Beginning
Vision is one of life’s greatest gifts. Thousands of people in India are waiting for a corneal transplant that can restore their sight. Unfortunately, the shortage of donated corneas means many continue to live in darkness.
By pledging your eyes today, you can give someone the opportunity to study, work, support their family, and live independently.
Blind People’s Association believes that eye donation is one of the noblest gifts a person can offer to humanity.
Why Eye Donation?
Eye donation is the voluntary donation of the cornea after death. The cornea is the transparent front portion of the eye that can be transplanted to restore vision in individuals suffering from corneal blindness.
One eye donor can help restore vision to two people through corneal transplantation.
Why Choose to Donate Your Eyes?
Restore Vision
Help people suffering from corneal blindness regain their sight.
Give Hope
Enable children and adults to pursue education, employment and independent living.
Leave a Living Legacy
Your kindness continues to make a difference even after your lifetime.
A Noble Gift
Eye donation costs nothing but can change someone’s entire future.
Who Can Donate?

You can donate even if you:
There is no upper age limit for eye donation. Medical suitability is assessed at the time of donation.
Who Cannot Donate?
People with certain infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, active rabies, or some severe systemic infections may not be eligible for eye donation. Final medical evaluation is carried out by the eye bank.
