Share sight through transplant Dwyer Belinda Smith was a college student when an eye disease nearly destroyed her vision. Unable to read, unable to drive, unable to earn her living, her plans to become a teacher were shattered. However, a comeal transplant restored her sight. She finished college and became the teacher she had planned to be. Despite the recent networking of medical eye banks to supply eye tissue where needed, there are still people waiting to have their sight restored. The number of donors has not kept pace with the demand. Anyone, even a person with poor vision, is a potential eye donor. Inform the members of your family of your desire to donate your eyes upon your death, and sign the form on the back of your driver’s license. Eyes donated through a will are useless because of the delay in probating the will. It is possible to give the gift of sight, but your doing these two things will make it more likely to happen. (Note: Bemiece H. Dwyer, Milford, is a retired Goshen High School teacher, who has long been interested in the work of the Eye Bank at the Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis. She ' writes and speaks on the subject.)
