When Does Donation Happen?
When Does Donation Happen?
Eye donation happens after a person passes away. The eyes (specifically the cornea) must usually be donated within about 4–6 hours after death so that they can be used to help restore vision for someone who is blind.
Doctors or trained staff from an eye bank collect the cornea carefully, and the process does not affect the appearance of the face or delay funeral arrangements.
