Sri Lanka sheds light through vast cornea donations
In Colombo a cornea from a deceased donor restored sight in two patients at the National Eye Hospital. Sri Lanka, a major global cornea provider, donates about 3,000 corneas annually and runs a state funded eye bank to expand supply. The Eye Donation Society partners with international recipients, while ethical concerns and quality debates persist.
