Eye not working
My mom's right eye is completely blind. I have consulted few doctors, they said that it cannot be cured. I wanted to know if by any chance can we get some eye donor if possible
Transplantation from cadaver eye can only help if the cause of decreased vision is due to cornea. It is unlikely that corneal lesions lead to complete blindness. In most big hospitals, there are associated eye banks. But your name will be registered and you will be called for surgery accordingly.

We can use only cornea of a donor if the vision loss is due to corneal problems.
If her vision loss is due to some other reason, like atrophy of optic nerve then the vision loss is permanent.
Her ophthalmologist must have explained to you the cause of vision loss.
