EYE DONATION AWARENESS |
| |
| |
The value of anything is realized only when it is lost, and one such thing is vision.
There is a huge need for the availability of transplantable donor corneas worldwide to reduce the burden of corneal blindness due to corneal opacity, but due to lack of awareness about eye donation among general population, the practice of eye donation is lacking in our Country. |
|
|
 |
|
|
USD Group, the philanthropic partner of Hoya Medical India Pvt. Ltd., has decided to promote this cause of Eye Donation Awareness and enhance Eye Donation in coordination with Hoya India Pvt. Ltd, ISCKRS and National Eye Bank. |

Voluntary eye donation depends on the awareness levels of various stakeholders in the community.
Though all the causes of blindness can't be cured, corneal blindness can be reverted by corneal transplantation, if done at right time.
|
| |
 |
| |
| Some Basic Facts about Eye Donation : |
• Anyone can be an eye donor, irrespective of age, sex, religion, caste, creed or blood group.
• The whole eye is not used for transplant; only the thin transparent layer in front of the iris, called the cornea is used for transplant, to replace the diseased or opaque cornea in the eye of the patient (recipient).
• Corneas of patients suffering from AIDS, rabies, syphilis, tetanus, septicemia and certain viral diseases are considered unfit for use for transplant purposes. |
