Can people with glaucoma receive eye donations?


My mom has been blind in one eye for 30 years. Could her eyesight be restored with a transplant of a eye?

Sorry, there is no such thing as an eye transplant.

Only the cornea can be transplanted, which wouldn't help in your Mom's case.

Glaucoma isn't a corneal disease.
