Waiting list for eye transplantation at AIIMS, Delhi grows threefold after Covid

The eye donations and transplantations have been badly hit by Covid, according to an expert on Wednesday. However, the situation has seen an improvement with the decline in the Covid cases in the country.

Dr JS Titiyal, Chief of RP Centre, AIIMS, Delhi said, "Covid really killed the eye donation movement in the country during the first wave of Covid. If Covid wave was going up, the collection or donation of eyes was going down."

Dr Titiyal said that he had hoped to touch 3,000 transplantations per year, however, due to Covid, the target will take another nearly three years to achieve.
