Until recently, Erode had only one private eye bank, the Arasan Eye Bank. A second private eye bank, Erode Eye Bank, has since been established. It entered into a memorandum of understanding with government hospitals in the district and began functioning in July 2026.

Under the arrangement, the eyes of deceased persons in government hospitals are collected for donation, with the consent of their family members.

During the first six months of the current financial year, from April to September 2026, a total of 558 people donated their eyes. Of these, 56 donations were facilitated by the newly established Erode Eye Bank in its first three months of operation, while the Arasan Eye Bank accounted for 502 donations.

The procedure for pledging eyes has also been simplified. Families willing to donate the eyes of deceased members can register online from their homes or approach either the Arasan Eye Bank or the Erode Eye Bank.
