Blind See By "Bank Eyes", Hoy Reveals "One of the most unusual insti tutions in the world was recently started in New York," said Dr. Wil liam 1oy, hen-' of the biology de partment. "This institution is named the Eyebank for Sight Re storation, Inc. Its services are ex pected to restore sight to thou sands of blind people." Doctor Iloy explained tha'. not a:l cases of blindness will profit by this eye bank because only defects of the cornea will be remedied through its functions. As far back as 1787 surgeons have tried to t"ans plant a transparent matter in place of the injured cornea. Now the method has been perfected, but lack of available corneas prevented surgeons from giving relief to thousands of the blind. In 1941 efforts were made to ob tain corneal tissue when members of t,he international Order of Good Templars pledged themselves to let the medical profession use their' eyes after deat.h. The cornea may' be used from a living or dead per son, but must be used within three days after- their removal. At pres ent. scientist.s are seeking for a way to preserve corneas over a longer period1 of time, Doctor Hloy stated. k Links USC ool Seniors value to the state.
