Amala Paul Instagram – While preparing speech for an eye donation and surgery campaign organised by Aggarwal eye care. I came across some appalling facts.
A report suggest of the 30 million people suffering from blindness across the globe, over a third are form India 🇮🇳. But what is more shocking is that 70% of this figure is curable visual disability. Through cornea transplants or as simple as a catract surgery. Apart from a zillion issues escalating the scenario, the biggest single one is shortage of donated eyes 👀. Imagine so many can see, but only 40000 surgeries can be concluded in a year due to this shortage.
Not only I have pledged to donate my eyes. But also to work extensively in eye care field by launching ‘Amala Home’, a foundation with a sheer focus to simplify eye donation for all and help garner funds to facilitate more surgeries for the needy.
There’s lot that needs to be done and together we can imagine a future where all can see with there own eyes the colors of our beautiful and growing nation.
RIGHT TO SEE
A right which every human deserves deserves. Let’s make it happen !!! Pondicherry | Posted on 01/Mar/2018 15:57:31
