A young couple and the groom's mother were killed in a road accident while returning from a temple visit. In the midst of this tragedy, their decision to donate their eyes has helped give vision to 12 individuals. The victims' family, despite their devastating loss, has found solace in knowing that their loved ones' legacy will continue to shine through this selfless act.
The National Eye Donation Fortnight in India is a crucial period to raise awareness about eye donation and corneal transplantation. Despite the high number of corneal blindness cases in the country, fear and lack of awareness continue to hinder eye donation. To increase the number of donations, there needs to be more education and efforts from the government, NGOs, and private institutes. Let's all pledge to donate our eyes this eye donation fortnight and make a difference in someone's life.
