In order to combat the corneal blindness every citizen and organization has a role to play in spreading awareness about eye donation. You can also do it. Some of the suggestions are:
- You can spread the message of eye donation amongst, your friends, relations and your own family and public at large.
- You can pledge your eyes for donation.
Remember, when you pledge to donate your eyes or motivate another person for the same, you are helping bring light to the lives of two visually challenged people thereby providing them a better life.
- By becoming Jyoti Mitra (that is Eye Ambassador) of EBSR to help it in its various activities without being a fulltime member.
Make a Charitable Contribution
Majority of the blindness affects young victims mostly women and children. The diseased cornea must be replaced by clear donor cornea. But the cost associated with procurement, maintaining standards in processing the tissue and transplantation could be met only through your generous donation as EBSR works mainly on financial support from public.
Your contribution will encourage us to provide our services free of cost in Govt. Hospitals to those who cannot afford the healthcare costs associated with corneal transplantation. The EBSR is to maintain professional facilities by engaging well trained counselors, technicians, doctors who need periodical training and up-gradation.
At present EBSR is giving at an average about 50% of transplantable corneas to Government Hospitals in Rajasthan free of cost.
This can increase with your generous support.
Therefore, your generous contribution is welcome, which will be used to:
- Bring light and dignity to the life of visually challenged poor and underprivileged people
- Promote awareness about eye donation
- Train eye bank technicians and corneal surgeons to take the mission forward.
