This eye bank is a non-profitable charitable organization dedicated to the procurement and distribution of corneal tissue for transplantation in AIIMS.

It is one of the oldest Eye Banks in India. We have brought the "Gift of Sight" to over 20,000 men, women and children.

The National Eye Bank is situated at the centre and has an enviable voluntary donor list.

A junior and a senior resident are available round the clock to collect eyes from the donors. This year 641 donor eyes were received and 463 keratoplasties were done.

The eyes are also supplied to other keratoplasty units on demand.
