P Society and Clubs National Eye Ba In New York C New York UR; The only na tional eye bank in the world is run with quiet efficiency by a pretty blonde who "didn't know what a cornea was live years ago. Two offices and a laboratory are headquarters for the eye bank and the hub of hope for thousands of sightless people who can have their sight re- stored by a corneal transplant operation. From a desk in one of these of fices 34-year-old Mrs. Neita D'Abo Competello keeps in touch by telephone with doctors and eye donors from coast to coast Visitors often glance quickly around her office as if expecting to see extensive storage cabinets. There is no sign even of a large correspondence file. "The word 'bank' is a little misleading," said Mrs. Compe tello, who was appointed execu tive director of the Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration, Inc., two weeks ago after serving as as sistant to the former director for five years. Hasie Necessary It is impossible to keep a re serve supply of healthy corneas, as a blood bank can store blood supplies. Instead, everyone con cerned with the eye bank works with frantic haste when word ar rives that a donor has died.

Tuesday, November 15, 1955 nk Operated ity By Woman Plane schedules are checked Quick transportation to and from the airports is arranged. The eyes must be flown to the nearest pvp bank laboratory for checking and then transported to the doctor in the city where the operation is scheduled. They have just 48 hours. If the transplanting is not completed within that time, the donated eyes are useless. The national eye bank now is affiliated with four regional eye banks in Boston, Chicago, Win ston Salem and New Orleans anri hopes to work with others, Miss Competeiio said, to expand its sight-giving service. Twice during the hour in which she discussed the 10-year- old operation of the national pvp bank, which has its offices in the Manhattan Eye- Ear and Throat Hospital, Mrs. ComDetello pv- cused herself to hold brief, mat ter-of-fact conversations on the telephone. "Yes," she said each time, "we are expecting two eyes from Princeton this morning. After we test them in the lab I'll let -you know immediately." 6000 Eyes Donated These were doctors calling about emergency cases, she ex plained after each call. If a cor nea is about to ruDture it must be replaced immediately. Please don t use the term 'willing your eyes' to the eve bank in your story," Mrs. Com petello said earnestly. "That is another misunderstanding. Tt does us no good for a person to put a provision in his will do nating his eyes. By the time the will is probated the person is Duned. They provide donor blanks which are given to the next of kin, the doctor explained. At the present time there are 20,000 known cases of blindness or im paired vision which could be benefitted by corneal trans plants. Approximately 6000 eyes have been donated to the na tional eye bank in its 10-year existence. "We feel it is only a matter of making people understand the need," Mrs. Competello said. "Ten years from now we' hope it will be normal procedure for people to give their corneas to the eye bank."
