Commentary: Analysis of motivating factors for eye donation among families of eye donors in South India – A questionnaire-based study

As of today, prevalence of blindness in India is approximated to be 0.45% among the Indian population, in which corneal blindness constitutes 0.9%.[1] Corneal retrieval through eye banking plays a principal role in tackling this issue. India, being a developing country, has the maximum number of eye banks (238) in the world.[2] The retrieval and utilization rates need furtherance compared to developed nations. There is a fourfold need in procurement of corneas to curb cornea‐related blindness in India. Shortage of tissues can be resolved by improving awareness and conversion of pledging to donation among our population.
