Humpi,
I cannot thank your dad but I will thank you. My wife is a double cornea transplant recipient The first donor was 32 and the second 21 both perished in car accidents without the transplants within 5 years she would have been totally blind, Its a bit over year for the first one and will be a year in September for the second. She had Fuch's endelthial Dystrophy in which the corneal cells were dying and leaving deposits which prevented the gas exchange, she described her sight as looking through wax paper all the time. Now her vision is currently corrected to 20/40 in one eye and 20/25 in the other. I am an organ donor as well if and when my untimely death comes I can help just one person than it would not have been in vain.
