clouded surface which really is part of the eye called the cornea can be removed and replaced with clear material from one eye to another this is called corneal graft or transplant and has been successfully done scores of times the new cornea grows into the once blind eye and in fact becomes part of it it is just like having a pane of frosted glass re placed with a clear one the supply of corneae must come from healthy human eyes that very recently have been removed often as a result of an accident to another part of the eye a few years ago it was discovered that eyes from a recently deceased person could also be usedfo provide material for corneal transplants in order to use the eyes of a recently deceased person they must be removed as soon after death as possible not longer than six hours to help in the fight to restore sight the canadian national institute for the blind has set up an organization called the eye bank of canada with divisions now operating from coast to coast working with some of the most skilled medical eye specialists in the country the cnib makes arrangements for eyes no longer useful to one person to be used to help restore sight in another

an eye specialist perhaps in another area who has been alerted by telephone to pre pare his patient for surgery that may result in new sight the clear cornea is remov ed from the donor eye and transplanted into the eye of the waiting patient who now stands a better than ever chance of seeing again perhaps even better than he has ever seen before checking the eyes before sending on to surgeons is an important part of the eye bank service using the healthy cornea from eyes pledged by thoughtful donors surgeons replace diseased cells in the patients cornea and thus enable him to see
