What precautions are to be taken after the death of a person who has donated eyes?
It is advisable to switch off fans, and keep the air conditioning on, if it is available. Raise the deceased person’s head with the help of a pillow. Ensure that the eyelids are properly shut and place a clean wet cloth over the eyelids. Keep a copy of the death certificate ready (if available). The eye bank team removes the eyes after taking consent on a printed form and also takes a blood sample.
