Human corneal tissue donations from the deceased can outstrip the demand of eye tissue from ophthalmologists to perform a corneal transplantation, a surgical procedure to treat blindness. This research will determine the quantity of surplus eye tissue, and community understanding of donation and support for exportation. This will help the sector with decision-making on management of oversupply and potential exporte to other countries in need.

死者捐献的人类角膜组织可以超过眼科医生对眼组织的需求，以进行角膜移植，这是一种治疗失明的外科手术。这项研究将确定剩余眼组织的数量，以及社区对捐赠和支持出口的理解。这将有助于该部门就供应过剩的管理和向其他有需要的国家出口的可能性作出决策。
