Why you should donate your eyes | How can you give sight to 10 people? | Eye Donation Fortnight by Dr Kavithalakshmi from Dr K.K. Surgical & Paediatric Centre

-----------------------------------------------

The National Eye Donation Fortnight is observed every year from 25thAugust to 8th September. It is a campaign which aims to create mass public awareness about the importance of eye donation and to motivate people to pledge their eyes for donation after death.

Blindness is one of the major public health problems in the developing countries. According to World Health Organization, corneal diseases (Damage to the tissue covering the front of eye called cornea) are among the major causes of vision loss and blindness, after cataract and glaucoma.

In most cases, loss of sight can be corrected through 'Eye Donation" After the death of a person, various organs can be donated and can be surgically transplanted to the patients who need them. One such organ is the eye .By donating eyes after death, a corneal blind person can see again through a surgical procedure known as corneal transplantation, where by the damaged cornea is replaced by a healthy cornea from the eye donor.
