Organ Donation

For the month of February, I decided to research organ donation. There are two types of organ donation; living donation and deceased donation. It is often hard to donate organs after one is deceased because the organs have to be preserved under special circumstances. However, deceased donation is the most common type of donation.

Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

Central retinal artery occlusion usually occurs with sudden, profound, but painless vision loss in unilaterally. This is because the central retinal artery becomes blocked, usually due to an embolus. The retinal artery occlusion may be transient and last for only a few seconds or minutes if the blockage breaks up and restores blood flow to the retina, or it may be permanent.

Corneal Neovascularization

Corneal Neovascularization is characterized by the invasion of new blood vessels into the cornea from the limbus. The commonest cause of Corneal Neovascularization is diabetes, sickle cell disease, retinopathy of prematurity, retinal vein occlusion, and severe carotid stenosis. Immature new blood vessels may lead to lipid exudation, persistent inflammation, and scarring, thus threatening corneal transparency and visual acuity.
