Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Bioethics
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Transnational eye banking involves the movement of corneal tissue across borders for transplantation.
  • Global disparities in eye donation and transplantation necessitate international collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review ethical issues in transnational eye banking, including the export and import of corneal tissue.
  • To identify potential dilemmas for policymakers and professionals in global eye banking activities.

Main Methods:

  • A principle-based normative analysis was employed.
  • Examined common ethical dilemmas in cross-border eye banking operations.

Main Results:

  • Ethical concerns include impacts on national corneal tissue self-sufficiency.
  • Challenges exist in obtaining informed consent for exportable donations.
  • Ensuring equitable tissue allocation and consistent safety/quality standards across jurisdictions is difficult.

Conclusions:

  • Specific ethical issues in eye banking require further in-depth analysis.
  • Development of guidelines and governance tools is essential for supporting ethical transnational eye banking practices.
