Rotary Hears About
Possibilities For
Alaska Eye Bank
Dr. Langsam explained to fel
low Rotarians possibilities for an
Alaska eye bank at the club’s
regular meeting yesterday.
Ted Duffield, program chair
man, mentioned a possible bill to
make the willing of eyes after
death more practicable in Alaska.
The Alaska law now reads a
person can will members of his
body for medical purposes, con
ditioned upon the consent of near
relatives— a process that makes
eyes almost unavailable for trans
planting.
Dr. Langsam was asked to ex
plain this process. He said that it
so happens that Dr. Fritz of An
chorage, who has worked closely
with the New York Eye Bank, is
one of the comparatively few men
in the country who can make the
delicate cornea transplantation.
Removing a cornea from a
deceased person, if done almost
immediately after death, is com
paratively simple. The cornea
might then be shipped by air to
Anchorage, where for several days
it would be available for trans
plantation to a person who was
blind because of impairment of
the cornea.
Dr. Langsam said it is especially
needed in Alaska because of the
relatively high incidence of this
type of problem.
