Mihailovic N, Bartel CC, Rosenberger F, et al. - In living young and elderly potential donors in a German city, researchers assessed the knowledge of and attitudes toward postmortem cornea donation. High-school students and seniors partook in a nonrandomized prospective survey concentrating on willingness to donate corneas postmortem and factors that might affect underlying specific attitudes. According to findings, 73.3% of the high-school students and 41.6% of the seniors, 53.2% of whom had already signed an advanced medical directive, felt insufficiently informed about donation. In high school students, the willingness to donate and the proportion of donor card ownership were significantly lower than among seniors, corresponding to their respective donation knowledge. Young individuals should be systematically notified about cornea donation at school as quickly as they reach the legal minimum age for donation, and primary care physicians should provide each new patient with appropriate data to assist in their decision-making on postmortem cornea donation.
