EYE DONATION:BE THE LAMP OF OTHER'S LIFE
Hello everyone today would like to start with this beautiful quote:
"Beauty lies in the beholder’s eyes" Eyes are one of the most important sense organ
that makes us capable to see the beautiful world. As most of us know and might
have heard what we see that last for longer in our memories compared to what we
feel by touch or smell. That is why nowadays school and learning activities
include more interactive and picturesque things in the curriculum to build the
memory of learners. This is the power of vision. So we can see and feel how
much the vision matter.
To give somebody the ability to see the beauty of
this world who can not see the things, only could touch or feel is one of the
biggest charity that one can do even after his or her death by just making a
will of eye donation. After death whatever be the mode of cremation finally all
tissues and organs of body get putrefied or turned into ashes so what can be
better than providing vision to the blind person instead of just getting
decayed with the body.
Religious faith is the matter of concern for some
people to oppose the eye donation but one of the widely followed Buddhism
religion do support the eye donation. It is believed that Lord Buddha had donated his eyes.
Myths which need to be eradicated from the minds of
the people of our Indian society.
- Rebirth as blind: No one can guarantee
what will happen in the next birth.
- Disfigurement: In most of the cases
only cornea is transferred by the expert eye bank team which is replaced
by plastic shield and even if whole eye ball removed then also it is
properly closed by the team so no disfigurement of the body do occur.
- Age: Aged People can’t donate
eyes.
- Truth: Minimum age is 1year.Person of any age
can donate eyes.
Most of the people of any age except infected with
AIDS, Hepatitis B, C, meningitis, encephalitis, rabies, septicaemia, cholera,
tetanus or acute leukemia can donate eyes.
Eyes should be donated within 6-8 hrs after death
that’s why prior will is necessary and to inform the eye bank immediately after
death by the relatives.We are not sure whether hell or heaven exist but by eye
donation can make sure that someone else will be able to see after you depart
from this world what Karma is superior to it, to enlighten somebody’s life.
Now adays many of the Celebs and social workers do
apply and sign the will of donating eyes. Many scientists had written the will
to donate their whole body after their death for organ transplantation as well
as research purpose for the betterment of society.
Eye donation is one of the greatest charity and in
India donor and recipient ratio is not so encouraging , it need to be improved.
We all need to be aware and should have filled the eye donation form for a
great cause.
What charity can be better than if we can help
somebody to see this World even in our absence. So live the life and let other
see the world when we are not there to see any more.
Stay healthy and happyJ
