Like any other organ transplantation, corneal transplantation is also a transplant of one organ of human body. Like every other organ transplant there are complications for the receiver’s body during and after the transplant. But the complications are all curable and fall short in comparison with the benefits of the transplant.

The complications are mostly related to the infections during the procedure of transplantation. Though, the transplant is not that internal as many other transplants like kidney transplant and others are, the transplant can lead to infections as the receiver’s body is exposed to external stuff. Rather the receiver’s body has to accommodate the living tissues from someone else’s body inside his body for ever. The complications beyond infections may be related to the mismatching of the tissue patterns between the two bodies.

The infections can generally be prevented by taking due sanitary measures at the time of transplanting and shortly after that. Once the healing of the broken tissues is complete, the chances of infections are less.The complications are greater when the receiver’s body starts rejecting the foreign tissues. Doctors may give immunity suppressant to the receiver in this case.  The drugs target to reduce the sensitivity of the body, so that it could accept the foreign tissues well. This may further result infections in the receiver’s body.

But it is only one common aspect with all the transplants. The other common aspect is more important. That relates to the benefits of transplants. And what can be a better benefit in this world than letting one see the world?
Eyes if donated can serve the receiver throughout his or her life. Only your will and conscience is the key to decide about eye donation and spreading awareness among others to donate eyes.

Eyes are priceless; an eye cannot be made in a laboratory or factory. It cannot be bought or sold. It can only be donated to help two others to see, after you have lived your life seeing its colors.
