The eyes should be removed from the donor and sent to the processing center as soon as possible to avoid deterioration of the cornea. The ideal time frame is 3-4 hours from the ‘time of death to the cornea preservation centre’.

As soon as possible, but eyes can be removed up to 6 hours after death. However, in places where the climate is hot, such as India, a shorter duration, preferably 2-4 hours is advisable.
