* Eyes can be donated only after death
* Eyes must be removed within 4 - 6 hours after death
* Only a Registered Medical Practitioner can remove eyes from a deceased.
* The eye bank team will remove the eyes from the home of the deceased or from a hospital
* Eye removal does not delay the funeral since the entire procedure takes 20-30 minutes only
* A small quantity of blood will be drawn to rule out communicable diseases
* Eye retrieval does not cause disfigurement
* The identities of both the donor and the recipient are kept confidential
* Close the eyelids of the deceased
* Switch off the fan
* Raise the head of the deceased slightly by placing a pillow underneath
* Contact the nearest eye bank as quickly as possible.
* Give the correct address with specific landmarks and telephone number to enable the eye bank team locate the place easily
* If the death certificate from the physician is available, keep it ready
* Eye donation can be done only with the written consent of the next of kin in the presence of two witnesses
