At Thind Eye Hospital, we believe in the gift of sight. Our Eye Bank is dedicated to restoring vision through corneal transplants, helping individuals suffering from corneal blindness regain their ability to see. By donating your eyes, you can bring light into someone’s world even after your lifetime.
Millions in India suffer from corneal blindness, but many of them can regain their sight through corneal transplants. One eye donation can help restore vision for two people. The process is quick, simple, and a deeply meaningful act that can change lives forever.
You can pledge your eyes by filling out our online Eye Donation Pledge Form or by visiting our hospital. It’s important to inform your family about your decision so they can support your wish. Save our 24/7 helpline number so your family can contact us immediately when needed.
Many individuals have regained their sight thanks to eye donors and the support of their families. Our eye bank has facilitated countless transplants that have transformed lives. Read powerful stories from recipients and donor families who chose to make a difference.
Anyone can pledge to donate their eyes, regardless of age or gender. In most cases, even those with medical conditions can be donors. Eyes should be donated within six hours of death to ensure successful transplantation.
When a donor passes away, the eye bank should be contacted immediately. A trained medical team will arrive to collect the corneas, either at home or in the hospital. The procedure is respectful, quick, and does not cause any disfigurement to the face.
Eye donation in India is guided by strict medical and ethical standards. It is a voluntary, non-commercial, and completely confidential process. Most religions support eye donation as a selfless act of charity and compassion.
