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.

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."
