Pune Doctors pledge eyes!

Although there is a need for an estimated two lakh corneas annually to restore vision of the corneal blind, barely 24,000 corneas are collected through eye donation in the country.

In an exemplary initiative to address this shortfall, 90 doctors from Pune have now pledged their eyes after death.

The doctors have also decided to strengthen the eye donation campaign in Pune by encouraging patients to pledge their eyes and by guiding them.
