There are lakhs of blind people in this world and blindness as you all know is curable by simple opeartion but unfortunately they remain uncured. The reason is that there is a severe lack of DONOR Eyes and at the same time lakhs of new patients keep on adding each year, waiting to be cured. Although there are enough qualified surgeons, many transplantations cannot be carried out due to lack of donoe eyes. How many of you people are pledging to donate their eyes after death... I have seen blinds and i have a soft corner for them and therefor promise and pledge to donate my eyes after death... I don't know why people do not do it..what is the use of eyes if you are dead...then why not donate and help others..Please reply and tell what are your feelings about this...

nice to see that you are supporting this cause of eye donation. But i think its not a matter of needy..i think everybody who is Blind is by natural needy..no doubt. So what can you suggest to promote this noble cause, in order to generate a maximum awareness.

I think it is important that we pledge to donate our eyes. But I think people have lot of issues with donating eyes. Relatives make issues that their loved ones would be buried or burnt without eyes... But for me I would like to donate my eyes. Have not really enrolled myself yet. But I shall do that soon.

I don't know about superstitions or other things. But I think many people still DON'T know about donating organs. Many people I know have done it but I think the feeling should be universal & the intentions should be selfless. Because if any intentions are money oriented then donation is not in the dictionary at all. So I think that EVERYONE MUST donate. We atleast have that great feeling in our mind when we die that we have given someone sight. Best Regards Vinod
