In the May edition of "Optometry" (the AOA's Journal), some OD students from Berkley's College of Optometry noted the suprising lack of donor corneas (only 46,000 available in 1996).
Having seen the results of successful keratoplasty (the most successful of transplantation procedures), I would hope that those in the optical field (like Opticians) make it a point to sign and carry the organ donor card that informs doctors of your intent to donate your corneas.
Just a passing thought...
