"EYE DONATION" Let it be your family tradition !
Facts about Blindness:
More than 10 million Indians are blind. A majority of them are blind due to cataract. Fortunately, the vision of a cataract blind person can be restored through a simple surgical technique using artificial lenses.
Over 2 million Indians are affected by corneal blindness - 60% of them are below the age of 12. A corneally blind person's sight can only be restored when his/her damaged cornea is replaced by a healthy cornea that is received from a deceased donor.
Corneas are not commercially available - only an Eye Donation from a deceased person can help restore the Sight of a Corneally Blind Person.
