"The eye is the window to the world, at the same time, it is the window of the soul." - Shakespeare. 35 million people are BLIND or going blind in the developing world and most of them can be cured. Out of 3 million corneally blind people 60% are children below the age of 12. Target retrieval of corneas by Eye bank of India is 150,000 corneas per year.
So, if we have got God's gift of Vision, why not try to pass it on to
somebody who doesn't have it?
The number of people awaiting corneal transplant is out numbering the available donor tissues. Corneal Transplantation is the only effective restoration for the replacement of human tissues in the eye. This is considered as a precious and possessed gift of sight for millions of people all over the world. |
