National Eye Donation Fortnight
National Eye Donation Fortnight is an annual awareness campaign in India that encourages people to pledge their eyes for donation after death. By donating eyes, individuals can help restore sight to those suffering from corneal blindness. The campaign aims to educate the public about the importance of eye donation, dispel myths, and increase participation in eye donation programs. Family awareness and consent are crucial, as the process involves recovering healthy corneas from deceased donors to be transplanted into patients awaiting sight restoration. Overall, it promotes a compassionate act that can drastically improve lives.
