Abstract
Corneal diseases constitute a major cause of vision impairment and blindness in children and young adults. Corneal transplantation offers a great potential for visual rehabilitation of these patients. There is a considerable backlog for corneal transplantation so there is need to educate the people about corneal donation. In lie of this a survey was conducted to assess the awareness about eye donations among patients attending OPD of medical college. Results revealed that although 72% of subjects were aware about eye donation only 4.6%had pledged their eye for donation. Therefore it can be concluded that there is great need to increase the knowledge and awareness about eye donation
