See the World After Death By Donating Eyes

There are hundreds of thousands of visually handicapped  people in our country. It is estimated that out of this about lakes of  people can regain vision with appropriate treatment. Surgery can restore vision to those who have become blind due to cataract or those whose cornea has been affected. The damaged whitish cornea should be replaced by a crystal like healthy cornea which has been donated by a healthy person. So eye-donation should be encouraged in a large scale, as one of the best means of social service. To enable another person obtain vision is one of the best forms of charity. Even after death the donor lives in the eyes of recipient. Eyes from a dead person can enable two blind people to acquire vision. Eyes should be donated within 6-8 hrs. of death. Anyone can be a donor, irrespective of age, sex, blood group or religion. One cornea is grafted to one person. Total removal time is  about 15-20 minutes. Spectacle wearers, hypertensive and diabetics can also donate. There is no disfigurement of the donor’s face. Total procedure takes 15-20 minutes. Eyes can be donated even if the deceased had not formally pledged their eyes during their lifetime. The eye bank team will immediately reach the donor’s home to collect the eyes. This service is free. Eyes are never bought or sold. The eye is the window to the world, at the same time, it is the window of the soul. Your effort can enable someone to come out of their dark and dreary life into a life full of colors, a life where they can see and enjoy this beautiful world
