| Do you know? |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Do you know that our eyes live even after our death? Do you know that we can light the life of two blind persons by donating our eyes after our death? |

Eye donation is perhaps the noblest of all gifts! It gives us the chance to make a difference even after we are no more. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Narayana Nethralaya Eye Bank operates 24 hours throughout the year. Through our Eye Bank, we obtain, evaluate and distribute eyes received as donations from good-minded people for use in corneal transplantation, research and education. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
While eyes that are found suitable for corneal transplantation are used for corneal transplantation, other eyes received that are not suitable for transplantation, are also put to good use as these are used for research and education. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Cornea is the clear tissue covering the front of the eye. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
If the cornea becomes cloudy from disease, injury, infection or poor nutrition, vision is dramatically reduced or lost. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Corneal blindness can be treated by replacing the damaged cornea by a healthy donated human cornea. The human cornea can be procured through Eye Donation only. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Corneal blindness affects mainly children and young adults who have a long life ahead of them. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Though we have trained, highly qualified surgeons and hospital facilities to do the corneal transplantation, we do not have enough eyes donated to do the surgery. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Approximately 70 lakh blind population of our country are waiting for corneal transplantation and approximately 40,000 new cases of this treatable blindness are being added every year. However, only 20,000 eyes are donated every year in our country. Leaving behind a huge backlog of avoidable blindness. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
One eye donation can give sight to two corneally blind persons. |
|
|
|
|

| Magnitude of the problem of blindness in India |
|
We have an estimated 4.6 million people with corneal blindness that is curable through corneal transplantation with eyes received by us as donations. Out of this, an estimated 4.6 million are 90% of the people with corneal blindness are below the age of 45 years including some 4.5 million below the tender age of 12.
More than 90% of the corneal transplantation is carried out successfully in restoring vision to people with corneal blindness. Including infants born with cloudy cornea, corneal transplantation can make a big difference to the rest of their lives. Your beloved ones thus live and light up the lives of others even after death.
The relatives of the deceased person can donate the eyes of their beloved ones immediately after the death. The eyes need to be collected within six hours of death. |
