    Abstract

    To compare quality and utilisation of donor cornea received by hospital cornea retrieval program (HCRP) vs voluntary donation Methods: Retrospective, observational study based on records of cornea collected through HCRP and Voluntary donation in the eye bank of a tertiary care centre in Jharkhand from January 2019 to April 2023. Quality of cornea was graded on slit lamp biomicroscopy. Also specular microscopy was done to evaluate status of endothelium. Results: A total of 144 corneas from 72 donors were collected, out of which 102(70.8%) were through HCRP and 42 were through Voluntary Donation.50% cornea were optical grade in the HCRP grp and 45.2% were optical in the Voluntary donation group.The utilisation rate in HCRP group was around 58.8% and 41.1% got rejected, where as in the voluntary group, 52.3% corneas were utilised and 47.6% got discarded. Conclusion: Optical grade quality and utilisation of cornea was significantly higher in the HCRP group as compared to voluntary donation group.
