Bhubaneswar, Odisha, February 9, 2026: Drushti Daan Eye Bank (DDEB) at the LVPEI Mithu Tulsi Chanrai (MTC) campus in Bhubaneswar has collected 20,000 corneas, unlocking hope and endless possibilities for thousands of patients in need of a corneal transplant. This is a transformative milestone for eye banking in eastern India.

The honorable governor Shri Kambhampati Hari Babu was the chief guest at the celebration. All the partners of DDEB who helped achieve this milestone were felicitated at the event.

From humble beginnings in 2003 with just 30 corneas harvested in the first five years, it is now among the top five eye banks in India.  The corneas collected support with optical, therapeutic, and tectonic transplants nationwide, including lamellar keratoplasties.
