Center Restores Sight For Many
WINSTON-SALEM
More than 240 North
Carolinians who had lot
their sight had it restored
last year through the work
of the N.C. Eye and Human
Tissue Bank, Inc. This work
is made possible partially
through the efforts of
dedicated volunteers, such
as David Tesh.
A senior metals mechanic
at RJR Archer, Inc., in
Winston-Salem, Tesh spends
much of his spare time
soliciting “eye wills” or
donor pledges. The pledge
states that it is the donor’s
intent to have his or her eyes
donated to the Eye-Bank at
the time of death. The
primary use for the eye
donations is corneal tran
plants, which restore sight.
“When you talk to people
who have received a corneal
transplant and are able to
see again, you realize that a
donation might someday
make someone happy for
the rest of their life,” says
Tesh.
Tesh cites the example of
a two-year-old boy who was
CLP Continues Registration
The Community Life
Program, an inter-agency,
cooperative program which
serves Senior Citizens in
Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Camden, and Chowan
counties, is continuing
registration for its
Telephone Reassurance
Service.
Telephone Reassurance is
a service that is free of
charge to all interested
Senior Citizens and disabled
persons. This service allows
interested parties to be
reassured by daily
telephone contact with a
staff member at the Com
munity Life Centers.
All the participant agrees
bom blind, but was able to
see the candles on his birth
day cake last year after a
corneal transplant.
“I also know a 76-year-old
lady who is one of the most
active people I’ve ever met.
She often says that she had
the choice of receiving a
comeal transplant or living
the rest of her life as an old
blind woman, ’’ Tesh con
tinues.
Tesh got involved in the
eye will program four years
ago when he joined the Lions
Club, in which the primary
service function is helping
the blind. Tesh is now
chairman of a district which
includes Davidson, Rowan,
Cabarrus, Stanley, Union
and Anson counties. He
speaks to people about the
eye donor program in
shopping centers, colleges,
and at civic meetings.
“Shortly before I attended
my first Lions Club meeting,
my father had died. Before
his death, he had been
practically blind. When I
saw the Lions’ program on
eye donors, I realized that
to do is to call the Com
munity Life Center between
8:15 A.M. and 3 P.M.,
Monday through Friday. If
at the specified time, a
phone call has not been
received by CLP, a distress
call is sent out and efforts to
locate the participant and
determine his welfare are
begun.
City and county law en
forcement officials have
agreed to assist if neighbors,
friends or relatives are
unable to determine the
participant’s welfare.
For more information, to
join Telephone Reassurance,
residents of Pasquotank and
Camden Counties should
call 335-0711. Interested
persons in Perquimans and
Chowan counties can call
482-8436.

people like my father
didn’t necessarily have to
remain blind. I saw how
important it was for people
to consider donating then
eyes to this cause,” he
explains.
Tesh discusses common
concerns about the Eye-
Bank and eye will program
with prospective donors.
“Many people say they are
unwilling to donate then
eyes if there is a possibility
that the eyes will be used for
research. But I try to get
those people to realize that,
if there were no research,
the restoration of sight
would not be possible
today.”
Getting people to sign
donor pledges is only half
the battle involved in
working on behalf of the
Eye-Bank, Tesh says. “It’s
tragic that we lost many
eyes that people intended to
donate. A death in the
family is such a traumatic
experience that it may be
days before the family
remembers that the
deceased wanted to donate
his or her eyes. It’s too late
then, because the eyes must

be removed within four

must be transplanted within
24-36 hours. So it’s im
portant that anyone who
wishes to make this
donation notify his or her
family, doctor and
clergyman of that int

Anyone who wishes to sign
a donor pledge can write to:
The N.C. Eye and Human
Tissue Bank, 3195
Maplewood Avenue, Win
ston-Salem, N.C. 27103.
The Eye-Bank is
responsible for determining
who the recipient will be
when eyes become
available, and for arranging
transportation to the
location where the eyes are
needed. The Eye-Bank
usually makes
arrangements for a highway
patrolman to take the
donation to an airfield,
where a pilot carries the
shipment aboard the plane,
flies it to its destination, and
gives it to another
patrolman waiting there.
That patrolman then
delivers it to the hospital
where it is needed.
