Is It Possible To Donate Eyes When Alive?

I want to donate my eyes to a blind person. But I still want to 'live'. Is it possible to exchange my 'eyes' with a blind person. What I'm saying is that; is it possible to give my eyes away and replace them with a blind persons eye? Therefore leaving me blind?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. I can understand your concern.
It seems from the history that you want to donate eyes. It is a noble decision, but you can donate the eyes only after your death, it is not possible to donate the eyes when you are living.
You can pledge to donate the eyes while you are alive.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
