Abstract
Aim: To assess the awareness and knowledge of eye donation among nursing students of a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire consisting of 10 questions was given to a group of 95 students belonging to 1st year B.Sc. Nursing.
Results: In our study, all the students had heard about eye donation. 62.1% students were willing to donate. 67.36% students knew the ideal time of eye donation but only 30.52% students knew the eligibility criteria of donation.
Conclusion: All the students were aware of eye donation and majority of them were willing to donate and also knew the ideal time of donation, but their knowledge on other aspects of eye donation for Corneal Blindness and Corneal Transplantation was lacking.
