Photo Caption: The cornea is our window to the world. If it is injured or if a corneal disease is present, people are at risk of going blind – even at a young age. While other diseases can be treated with the help of simpler therapies, medications or glasses, the situation with an injured cornea is much more complex. The only way out: a corneal transplant, donated by a deceased person - a therapy that is almost impossible to achieve for many people. Yet it is all a matter of organization, legal regulation and support from politics and society. Major obstacles that can only be overcome together.
