It'd be an amazing thing to let someone see again. I hope this information isn't too late. I would contact eyebank@venueyeinstitute.org (from http://www.venueyeinstitute.org/eyebank.htm) and see if they could suggest somewhere closer to Mangalore.

Written like an essay[edit]

Parts of this article seem to be written like an essay ("The conclusion of the above two sections is that we cannot give a straightforward answer to the question “Is my loved one really dead?” nor give a firm “No” to the question “Will he or she experience any pain?” In light of this, what should donors be told in order that they can give informed consent?"). This is clearly inappropriate on Wikipedia and it is highly unsuitable for this topic in particular.
