 37th National Eye Donation Fortnight, Eye Collection Centres and Volunteers Felicitated at NN held on 6th September 2022

On the occasion of the 37th National Eye Donation Fortnight, Dr. K. Bhujang Shetty, Chairman & Managing Director of Narayana Nethralaya Eye Hospital, felicitated various Eye Collection Centres and Volunteers on the 6th of September, 2022, at NN, Rajajinagar. Speaking to the Press at the event, Dr. Shetty mentioned that though there are close to 300-400 deaths per day in Bengaluru alone, less than 8 eyes are collected. Since corneal blindness can be treated only through transplantation from eye donations, Dr. Shetty urged everyone to not only come forward to donate eyes after their death but to also work for eye donation by educating and enrolling friends, families, and extended circles in this noble cause. The Puneeth Rajkumar “Missed call initiative to pledge eyes” has garnered close to 1 lakh pledges in 10 months. Let us all work together to bring light to the 15 lakh people in India living with corneal blindness!
The annual eye donation award instituted in the memory of Late Harish Nanjappa was presented to Government Hospital Yelahanka in recognition of their exemplary contribution for the cause of educating the public about blindness and also collecting maximum number of donor eyes. It was received by Dr. Anil, Dr Venkatraju and Dr Premananad in the presence of Dr Shanthala B N, District Blindness Control Officer, Bengaluru Rural.
Narayana Nethralaya Eye Banks are open 24/7. We request you to inform us immediately after death, for the eyes need to be collected within 6 hours of death. We can be reached at 9741685555 and 9902821128.
