Medical indications and contraindications for eye donation.

Potentially useful and valuable donor-eye tissue is lost because physicians decide erroneously that certain deceased people are not suitable donors. The Indiana Lions Eye Bank Inc. needs and will receive with gratitude any and all donated eyes. Donated ocular tissue can be used for research or teaching, if not for actual transplantation. All deceased people should be regarded as suitable eye donors, except when the cause of death or other factors might pose risks for enucleators themselves.
