नेत्रदान जागरूकतेचा उद्देश कॉर्नियल अंधत्व असलेल्यांना दृष्टी परत मिळवून देण्यासाठी मृत्यूनंतर डोळे दान करण्याचे महत्त्व लोकांना शिक्षित करणे आहे

Eye donation awareness aims to educate people about the importance of donating eyes after death to restore sight for those with corneal blindness.

Key aspects of eye donation awareness:

What is eye donation?
It involves donating one's eyes after death to be used for corneal transplantation, a procedure that replaces damaged corneas with healthy ones from donors.

Who can donate?
Practically anyone, regardless of age, s*x, or blood group, can donate their eyes. Those with conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or who wear glasses can also donate.

Why is it important?
Corneal blindness is a major cause of vision loss, and eye donation is the only way to restore sight for those affected by it.

How to donate:
To become a registered eye donor, contact your local eye bank.

What happens after death?
The eyelids are closed, the fan is switched off (air conditioning can be used), and the head is slightly raised with a pillow. Prompt contact with the nearest eye bank is crucial.

Debunking myths:
Awareness campaigns often address misconceptions about eye donation, such as the idea that it disfigures the body or is not allowed by certain religions.

National Eye Donation Fortnight:
This period is dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging people to pledge their eyes.

Impact: Eye donation can restore vision for at least two people suffering from corneal blindness, giving them the gift of sight and a chance to live a more fulfilling life.
