Yes, a match test always needs to be done before transplanting eyes from a potential donor. This is because, other than the external features (like colour of the pupils, etc.), the immune response also needs to be considered. The antibodies in the blood vessels close to the eyes recognize transplanted materials as 'antigens' too. Using immune-suppressing drugs, or other matchmaking factors for the eye, a person can have a smooth and versatile eye transplant.
