While under treatment, my relative expressed hiswish to donate his eyes if he did not survive. Even at such a young age he had a social commitment. We donated his eyes to fulfill hisdesire, with the hope that they would give new life to others. It gives us great satisfaction that though he is no more his eyes still lookupon this world. This makes us feel that he is still living in this world with us.” – Expressions of a donor familyCorneal tissues donated to RIEBTotal 426Tissues received from RIEB supportersTotal 40282<strong>April</strong> - <strong>June</strong>303Year to Date303<strong>April</strong> - <strong>June</strong>Year to Date1231230 100 200 300 400215105*Activity Year: <strong>April</strong> <strong>2008</strong> to March 2009MotivatedVoluntaryRIEB Affiliate Centres at Suryapet, Nidadavole & TanukuEBCRC: <strong>Eye</strong> Bank Coordination & Research Centre (eyesreceived only for practice)Other <strong>Eye</strong> BanksCommunity <strong>Eye</strong> Banking ProgramA total of 118 corneas were distributed to corneal surgeons outside <strong>LV</strong>PEI, within and outside Andhra Pradesh.Other <strong>Eye</strong> Banks in Andhra Pradesh(No. of corneas/eyes received in brackets)The Khammam <strong>Eye</strong> Bank, Khammam (65); Smt.
