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.

Cadaver eye is used as donor eye. Eye transplant is not feasible nd possible in every patient. If your doctor says eye transplant is only treatment, go to a big hospital where eye transplant is done.

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.
