Summary

International corneal donation pathways are influenced by stakeholder engagement, competition, and organizational models. Business practices and partnerships significantly impact the allocation of corneas for transplantation globally.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Transplant Science
  • Health Systems Research

Background:

  • International corneal export and import involve complex stakeholder networks.
  • Understanding these networks is crucial for efficient cornea donation and allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the pathway of corneal donation from export to import nations.
  • To explore how competition, promotional behaviors, online systems, and third-party engagement influence cornea allocation.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted interviews with 92 international eye bank professionals.
  • Utilized saturation and sentiment analysis to consolidate opinions on corneal allocation.

Main Results:

  • Competition and promotional behaviors are present in some eye bank nations.
  • Individual eye bank behavior, organizational models, allocation systems (e.g., online ordering), and non-state actor engagement significantly influence allocation.
  • Information sharing was less influential than behavioral approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Mapped the complete pathway of exported and imported corneas from recovery to transplantation.
  • Different business models, partnerships, and methods impact corneal export and import processes.
  • Further research is needed due to the limited existing literature.
