Try
to feel the world around you with your closed eyes for few moments and you will
realize how difficult it is to even walk properly leave aside experiencing the
vibrant life surrounding us.
India is one of the fastest growing
economies in the world. But we are leading another race also – Blind
Population. We harbor one-fourth of the world's blind population. What is even
more shocking is the fact that even though we had about one million deaths last
year, only ten thousand actually donated their eyes. We have more than four
million people with corneal blindness that is curable through corneal
transplantation made possible by eye donation. A corneal transplant is an
operation that replaces the opaque cornea with a clear cornea obtained from a
human donor.
Eye donation is the noblest
of all causes and people do feel passionate about this cause but fail to
convert their feelings into action either due to lack of awareness or due to
unavailability of proper information. All one needs to do is to take a simple
pledge to donate the eyes after death. You can fill the Eye Pledge Form online:
http://www.bharateyebank.org/eyepledgeform.php
Or dial a
24-hour toll-free number i.e. 1919 from MTNL for eye donation.
You
don't need a degree, any special skills, or even perfect vision. All you need
is a completed eye donor card, and a desire to help. And I think it’s the best
and easiest way of doing something for the society moreover who will not be
interested in living after death? So, Pledge today and Let someone see this
wonderful world through your eyes.
Don’t just leave a will, leave a vision.
