One Donor. Two Possibilities of Sight.
A suitable donor's corneas may help restore sight to up to two individuals, subject to medical assessment and suitability.
One pledge can mean:
Because Sight Changes Everything
The gift of sight can mean something different to every person whose life it touches.
For a child
The ability to see can mean learning, playing and growing with confidence.
For a young adult
It can mean education, employment and independence.
For an elderly person
It can mean greater independence and a better quality of life.
For a family
It can mean being able to see and experience life's precious moments.
It can mean leaving behind a gift that continues your story.
Common Misconceptions
There are many questions surrounding eye donation. Here are some common concerns, explained simply.
“I am too old to donate my eyes.”
Age alone does not necessarily prevent eye donation.
Medical suitability is assessed after death.
“I wear spectacles, so I cannot donate.”
Wearing spectacles does not automatically prevent eye donation.
Suitability is determined by the eye bank or medical team.
“My family will not be able to see me properly after donation.”
Eye donation is performed respectfully and with care.
“I have to decide everything after my death.”
You can make your wishes known today.
That is why making your pledge—and discussing it with your family—is so important.
A Pledge Is More Than a Form.
Your pledge expresses your intention. But after death, your family or next of kin will need to know about your wish and contact the appropriate eye bank or authorised service promptly.

Make sure the people closest to you know about your decision and understand what to do.
