Who can be an eye, organ and tissue donor?
People of all ages should consider themselves potential eye, organ and tissue donors. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what can be donated. Regarding eye, donation, if the corneal tissue is not transplantable due to age or medical condition, the donation can, with consent, be considered a gift for education and research involving glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and other sight disorders. These studies advance the knowledge of causes and effects of eye conditions leading to new treatments and cures.
