Eye Banks are not for researched purposes, there are storing corneas I am asking why eye banks are not called as cornea banks, because there are storing corneas not eyes.

Endy0816 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 They store more than the one thing. Who's going to toss something that can still be used by students and researchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's going to toss something that can still be used by students and researchers? i think you also don't know the exact answer to my question. Anyway i asked the same question to my friend: he said Eye banks are necessary to properly retrieve and store eyes. They extract, preserve, and dispatch corneas when necessary, what he said is correct or wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy0816 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 They dispatch other things than just corneas. Your eyes are worth some money. They're not as valuable as other organs but still worth something to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 why eyes banks are not called as cornea banks? i know eye transplant is impossible, so then why eyes banks are not called as cornea banks? From Wikipedia: Eye banks retrieve and store eyes for cornea transplants and research. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
