    Eye donation can significantly reduce transplant waiting lists. Hospitals achieving just 16% of this study

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Transplant Surgery
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Eye donation is crucial for corneal transplantation.
    • Waiting lists for corneal transplants present a significant public health challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility of eye donation in a hospital setting.
    • To estimate the potential number of corneas available for transplantation in New York City.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 100 consecutive deaths at St. Vincent's Hospital.
    • Evaluation of patient suitability for eye donation based on medical contraindications and age.
    • Calculation of obtainable corneas for transplantation and projection of impact on waiting lists.

    Main Results:

    • 48% of deceased patients were suitable for eye donation.
    • 44% of suitable candidates yielded 21 pairs of eyes.
    • 38% of obtained eyes were suitable for transplantation.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant number of corneas can be obtained from suitable donors.
    • Improving eye donation rates could eliminate the corneal transplant waiting list in New York City.
    • Hospitals achieving a 7% donation rate from suitable deaths could eradicate waiting lists.
