Ø  National eye donation fortnight theme


Many people celebrate the national gift of the eyes for encouragement. To provide their precious eyes so they can see the natural environment. It is good to have a better eye to see the environment and everything clear to ensure the security of anything harmful.
The eyes are important for working and traveling anywhere in the world. Without the eyes, a person can see nothing that they call a blind person. Therefore, the government has identified several of the following topics to encourage and motivate people to turn to those in need.

Eye Donation Day 2021

  • We have over 20,000 new cases of blindness in a year because of eye injuries. Vitamin A deficiency, infection, malnutrition and lots of other problems. The eyes of humans can only be restored with the help of a corneal transplant.

    The government has launched numerous campaigns to increase eye donations and give people the knowledge and information they need to prevent and heal. It is also important to give each person the knowledge of the Camps of the Eye donation.

    The National Eye Donation Fortnight is celebrated to create general public awareness about the importance of eye donation and to motivate people to pledge their eyes for donation after death.

    • Ø  All we need to know about eye donation
    • Eye donation is donating one's eyes after his/her death.
    • Only corneal blind people are benefitted from donated eyes.
    • Corneal blindness is the loss of sight due to damage in the tissue covering the front of eye called cornea.
    • Anyone can donate their eyes irrespective of age, sex and blood group.
    • The cornea should be removed within an hour of death.
    • Eyes of donated person can save the vision of two corneal blind people.
    • Eye removal takes only 10-15 minutes and leaves no scar or disfigurement of the face.
    • Donated eyes are never bought or sold. Eye donation is never refused.
