Did you know that you can cure blindness without ever going to medical school? You don't need a college degree, any special skills or even perfect vision. All you need is a desire to donate your eyes at death to an eye bank.
Signing the form on the back of your driver's license and informing your next of kin of your desire to do so will make it very likely that you will thereby give sight to two people.
Eye donations are used for cornea transplants, which are now more than 90 percent successful in restoring or improving sight. But only a human eye can provide a healthy cornea. Synthetic ones have not yet proven successful. For more information on becoming an eye donor, call 800-232-4384.
