Eye Bank

Regency Gift of Sight Coordination & Processing Centre at A.
Edward Maumenee Eye Bank is a unit of Venu Charitable Society and
part of the Venu Eye Institute & Research Centre. A 24-hour
Eye Bank supported by International Federation of Eye and Tissue
Banks, Baltimore, U.S.A. is operational at the Institute.
It is a state-of-the-art Eye Bank where the collection,
processing, preservation and distribution of donor corneas is carried
out. Donated tissues can be analysed and graded properly with the
help of a Tissue Specular Microscope, whether they belong to an
aged person or are eyes wich have had cataract surgery. Venu’s
Eye Bank is the first Eye Bank in Northern India to have acquired
a Tissue Specular Microscope.
The Eye Bank also conducts eye donation awareness
programmes through eye donation counselling, talks, seminars and
functions like the Eye Donation Day on 8th September every year.
We also work among school children to sensitise them towards eye
donation by holding inter school poster painting & slogan writing
competition every year during the National Eye Donation Fortnight
(August 25th-September 8th).
