Corneal opacification is a principal cause of blindness in Ghana contributing 11.2% (24 000 people) of the national estimate. Corneal transplant surgery is well known to offer restoration of sight to people blind from corneal opacities. The country has trained surgeons who are ready to offer their services, but the country lacks the law on organ/tissue donations, leading to the current state of no eye bank in Ghana for successful corneal transplants.
