Abstract

The promotion of eye donation has always been a challenging task for any individual or institute, and hence there is more demand and less supply of corneal tissue. Legally corneal donations are usually cadaveric allograft. But living eye donation though rare is sometimes done. We report two rare cases in which the cornea of the first case was retrieved from living donor, who had traumatic expulsion of right eye in road traffic accident. So the cornea of this living donor after enucleation of globe was utilized to restore the vision of another corneal blind person. The second case was a patient with failed keratoplasty left eye who was managed by taking graft from his other eye having glaucomatous optic atrophy.
