Judson Baptist College
students to visit here
This Sunday, Mar. 11, local
high school students and their
parents will have an opportu
nity to learn about Judson
Baptist College, announced
Gene Murty of Heppner.
"Judson offers superior
education near home. Judson
graduates recently tested

traditional highest standard in
Oregon," Murty said.
On Sunday, Judson students
March named National
Eye Bank Month
Last year 207 persons re
ceived corneal transplants at
Oregon hospitals, in many
cases restoring sight to some
one who had little if any
sight.
If enough tissue had been
available, that figure could
have been 300, says Kristi
V'oth, executive director of
Oregon's statewide eye bank,
the Oregon Lions Eye Bank at
Good Samaritan Hospital and
Medical Center in Portland.
V'oth is promoting donations
to the eye bank as part of the
activity surrounding March as
National Eye Bank Month.
"Right now, there are 25
Oregonians waiting for a
chance to have their vision
restored or improved through
this relatively common cor
neal transplant procedure,
and Heppner residents can
help us begin to fill this by
giving the gift of sight," V'oth
says.
When the cornea the clear
"Window of the eye" that
works with the lens to focus
incoming light rays be
comes cloudy from injury or
disease, vision can be restored
by transplanting a clear cor
nea from a donor eye.
Through a network of volun
teer Lions Club members and
funeral directors, 72 substa
tions have been set up through
the state to collect tissue,
which is rushed to the Lions
Eye Bank laboratory at Good
Samaritan.
"We act as a clearing house
to service 44 physicians
mostly in Oregon and south
west Washington but for a
few as far away as Montana,
Idaho and northern Califor
nia," said Emanuel Tanne,
M.D. surgical director of the
eye bank.
In addition, about half of the
tissue is sent to local and
regional organizations doing
research into eye disease, Dr.
Tanne says.
For corenal transplant pur
poses, tissue only lasts 72
hours and sometimes is
shipped to one of more than 80
other eye banks throughout

the country which have an
emergency.
The Oregon Lions Eye Bank
can call on this network if an
emergency transplant situa
tion finds it without an Oregon
donor.
With the eye bank Tissue
Inventory System computer
network and a ham radio
operator who also broadcasts
word of an emergency, "no
one ever has lost an eye here if
a corneal transplant would
solve the problem," V'oth says
proudly.
Last year, 541 Oregonians
donated their corneal tissue at
death. Tissue which wasn't
healthy enough for transplant
was used in research pro
grams dealing with such areas
as glaucoma, muscle studies
or new techniques for remo
ving cataracts.
"There is extensive conti
nuing research into glaucoma.
We know how it affects the eye
and how to treat it, but we still
don't know what causes it,"
says Dr. Tanne.
He points out that there is a
misconception over who can
donate.
"Many people think that
they can't be a donor if they
wear glasses and that just
isn't so. The determination of
healthy tissue is much diffe
rent than that," he said, and
pointed out that all tissue is
useful in the battle against eye
diseases.
"With all the research into
retinal disease, tissue from
someone with retinal disease
is very valuable," he says.
Anyone over 18 years old
may sign a donor card in the
presence of two witnesses and
carry the card in a wallet or
purse. Oregon law also allows
eye donation for a deceased
relative by the next-of kin
over 18.
Donor cards can be obtained
from the Eye Bank (503-229-7523),
local Lions Club mem- '
bers or any of 117 funeral
homes in Oreogn, including
Sweeney Mortuary, Heppner,
which act as eye tissue collec
tion centers for the bank.
