RESUMO
In 1961, the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) was developed to promote universal standards for the procurement of eye tissue. Over the last 30 years, the EBAA has had to change its original guidelines to include medical standards, technical personnel, updates in serology testing, and public relations. Certified technicians are required to perform procurement after careful donor chart review, where they must also review the lab results and check the postmortem blood sample to see if it tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus.
