Acute shortage of corneas has left scores of patients waiting to get a transplant of the eye organ.
Lions Sight First Eye Hospital which is an eye bank in Africa has exhausted all corneas and residents are reluctant to donate the organ.
An ophthalmologist Daniel Mburu who works with the hospital observes that the majority of Kenyans have not embraced organ donation which is mostly done when one passes on.
Mburu speaking to KNA in Murang'a during a free eye screening camp said there is a growing list of patients awaiting cornea transplant because there is acute shortage of the organ in the country.
