Gift of Sight

Sight for All

NSPB-India's ambitious community ophthalmology project at Karkardooma, New Delhi is in the advanced stage of its implementation. When fully operational, NSPB-India aims to provide the best of community ophthalmic care, especially to those who are poor, destitute and underprivileged. The Hospital is expected to be operational in phases once the requisite statutory and regulatory approvals are in place. NSPB-India depends on charity and donations for implementing its projects and providing good quality ophthalmic services. Donations to the NSPB-India are exempt from Income Tax under Sec 80 G.

Why should anyone be needlessly blind or visually challenged and live a life full of

darkness? Why should someone die, not being able to see the face of his family, the

beautiful flowers and live a life unfulfilled? Fortunately with the advent of Science,

increasing compassion in our hearts and with a rekindled spirit of giving, we have

reasons to cheer that the needlessly blind do not have to be blind for ever. The Gift of

Sight is a Gift of Life. It is possible for most of us to give the Gift, and it does not cost

anything. We can all give the Gift of Sight and the Gift of Life by donating our eyes

after our death. One does not need them anyway after death. The eyes that we

donate can be transplanted to a visually challenged person through a surgical proce-

dure. The small but decisive step that we take to pledge and donate our eyes can

change the life of a visually challenged person. The joy and happiness of the recipi-

ent, when he is able to see after years of blindness is something that is seen to be

believed. It is a new life.

At the last count 6.8 million people of whom more than 4 million children are manifest

blind. The irony and the paradox is that more than 95% of these needlessly blind due

to reversible corneal blindness can get back their Gift of Sight by a rather simple

procedure which our Ophthalmologists can successfully accomplish with a 90% plus

success rate.

"The eye

is

the window

to the world,

at the same time,

it is the window

of the soul." -

It has been recorded that the first such transplant, technically called a corneal grafting

or a keratoplasty procedure was done sometime in 1905. It has been more than 100

years that the first such procedure was successfully done, but whatever is being done

is not enough. Many of our unfortunate countrymen still languish in a life of visual

challenges due to corneal blindness. Statistics indicate that there are around 6.8

million who suffer from corneal blindness. Every year more than 50,000 unfortunate

people with corneal blindness add to the figures. They have a vision of less than 6/60

which does not allow them to see.

In layman's terms, the Cornea is the clear transparent portion in front of the round

black portion of the eye. The cornea losses its transparency and does not allow light to

pass through the lens of eyes, even though the other crucial parts of the eyes, includ-

ing the retina is intact in most cases. Therefore the cornea blind person cannot see,

and is a case of avoidable blindness, as the defective cornea can be easily trans-

planted with a clear and transparent one.

tancy of an Indian is only 63 years, his

eyes can live for more than 100 years if it is

donated after death and transplanted.

This can be only possible by a selfless,

strong and highly motivated advocacy

program which must be society inclusive.

The numbers of eye donors are increas-

ing, thanks to the roaring spirit of selfless-

ness and the spirit of giving. This is

encouraging and we must give credit to all

the community ophthalmology workers,

who go about the sensitive job of seeking

eye donors and retrieving them. Most of

the religions in India endorse selfless

donation, including eye donation. Scrip-

tures, religious books and religious trea-

tises all preach donation to be given to the

less fortunate. In the case of cornea

donation after death which is absolutely of

no use to us is a welcome step. After one is

no more, the eyes/cornea would be

consumed by flames and reduced to

ashes or buried and allowed to decay and

disintegrate. Surely this most precious Gift

of God, the eye cannot be allowed to

decay and disintegrate, when it can give

the Gift of Sight to millions of our less

fortunate brothers and sisters and put an

end to their being needlessly blind. Law

mandates that the name of the donor and

the receiver of the cornea are not dis-

closed to each other. Surveys indicate that

even among the educated and urban

people more than 50% are not even aware

of the fact that they could donate eyes

after their life to give the Gift of Sight to a

visually challenged person. Advocacy

thus is a key to success in eliciting eye

donors, collecting the corneas from a

person who is no more and transferring to

an eye bank. The limited success and

growth rate in restoring sight to corneal

blind persons can be attributed solely to

Fortunately Science and Technology has

travelled a long way and there have been

huge advancements in alleviating

corneal blindness by conducting cornea

transplants. Ophthalmologists in India

have now mastered the art and the

science of this surgical procedure and

more than 90% of these procedures are

successful and enable the visually

challenged person to see. These proce-

dures also are relatively inexpensive.

The good news is that the enigma lies

within us and thus can be addressed. It is

possible for us to ensure that the need-

lessly blind with cornea related issues

get the gift of sight within their productive

lifetime and do not have to wait endlessly

to receive a corneal transplant. Though

we have a huge backlog of 6.8 million

waiting for a corneal transplant, and

50,000 more added to this humungous

list, only 22,000 corneas are donated

every year. Net net, thus there is an

addition to this backlog . This is indeed a

matter of worry and concern. The great

divide and the gap between the corneas

that are harvested and the demand for

them remains to be successfully

addressed.

India's population stands at more than

1210 million, of whom 65% or more live

in rural areas, which have little or no

facilities for such corneal transplants, or

eye donations. The death rate in the

country has been pegged to 7.2 deaths

per thousand population or in gross

terms more than 86 lac people die every

year. Even if one out of the ten people

who die, donate their eyes, India would

be able to have zero corneal blindness in

less than a decade. While the life expec-3

increased awareness due to motivated

advocacy.

There are so many motivating stories.

Take the story of the young girl Dukhatar

from Village Salai in Ghaziabad whose

life was transformed after she had

undergone the cornea transplant

surgery at the Ginni Modi Comm-

unity Ophthalmic Research Center at

Modinagar which is a branch of NSPB.

She narrates with a glint of joy and a

sparkle in her eyes as to how her blind

life of fourteen long years, full of dark-

ness and despair turned into a life of joy

and happiness when she could see the

faces of her family members, thanks to

the surgery when her damaged cornea

was removed and a healthy cornea from

a donor was transplanted. With tears of

bliss in her eyes, she says, “ May God

flood the donor with his Blessings. My

sight has been restored only because of

this donor.” After her successful surgery

in 2006, her vision has been gainfully

restored. She not only attends to her

daily chores independently but also

helps her mother. The story carried by

the TNN of Ram Varan Yadav, 68, who

walks around Varanasi encouraging

people to come forward and donate their

eyes after death. Another unusual thing

about Yadav is that he was blind till the

age of 15 and regained his eyesight

when an eye transplant was performed

upon him by late Dr AP Sah at Ram

Krishna Mission Home of Service in 1962.

Several missionaries, like the team at the

DBCS Pune, have been increasing the

bar for eye donations. They have already

crossed the 1000 eye donation mark and

aim to achieve the 2000 eye donation

mark by 2013. Then there are stories of

Taylor Binns from Toronto and Katie Piper

having recovered from Corneal Blindness

by cutting edge technology involving

Stem Cell Therapy, but these are few and

rare. So far, there is no proven and mass

applied technology available to develop

an artificial cornea and the only solution

available to a corneal blind person is a

corneal transplant or keratoplasty, when

the damaged cornea is replaced by the

donor’s healthy cornea.

Donating one's eyes after one is no more,

is a very simple affair. There are numer-

ous eye banks in the country. Nationwide

toll free number 1919 of the BSNL can

also be reached and one can contact a

nearby eye bank. Just a simple form

needs to be filled up. Remember to tell

your near and dear ones of this. Most of us

are eligible to donate their eyes. Just think

of the Gift of Sight that you will give to a

blind person. Just imagine the delight,

happiness and bliss that will engulf him or

her with your eye donation when he or she

will be able to see with your donated eyes.

And come to think of it, you are donating

something that is of no use to you after

you are no more. Something that is of no

use to you makes a world of difference to

someone who is visually challenged.

support services, all under one roof in the urban area of West Delhi. This Center is also a dispensing unit for spectacles and other vision aids to the beneficiaries of Government schemes. The hospital has grown steadily over the years and is fulfilling the need for an affordable good quality eye care facility in the urban areas.

The medical facilities in the hilly areas are usually under-developed and inadequate due to the difficult terrain and other prob-lems. It is our endeavour to reach to such places where the plight of the poor needs urgent attention. The hospital is an icon for delivery of eye care services in the region. The patients are provided indoor facilities when mega camps are organized. The trust and confidence reposed by the local people over the years has made the Raison

center part of their family. The programs run by the Raison center are largely focused on cataract and other procedures required for people living in the area, and as an accepted practice, all the patients and their attendants are the guests of the Center during the entire period of treatment.

Society has a workshop where spectacles prescribed by ophthalmologists of Dr. R. P. C e n t r e , A I I M s , E S I a n d o t h e r Ophthalmologists are being prepared and supplied to the patients at extremely rea-sonable rates. It is also a training Centre for B.Sc. (Hons.) students of R. P. Centre in grinding and fitting of ophthalmic glasses. The Employees State Insurance Scheme has also been getting spectacles for its insured patients from this unit . Slum area patients identified under the project launched by Dr. R. P. Centre Community Ophthalmology Unit are also provided spectacles at subsidized prices. Society also has a sale counter at NSPB Eye Hospital, Moti Nagar, New Delhi. The ORU provides all kinds of spectacles and glasses at prices much lower than the market. The performance of these units is as under:

The Society is thankful to the Govt.of India and its officers, the Govt of UP, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh for their support, our State and District Branches, Dr. R.P. Centre, AIIMS for their cooperation. I also thank the Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and their officers for their valuable support from time to time.

The Society is highly grateful to all the donors for their benevolent donation either in cash or in kind especially SHCIL Foundation, Mumbai, M/s Appasamy Associates and the newly elected Governing Council for the construction of its hospital at Karkardooma in East Delhi. We could not have achieved the progress in this project without their support.

The Society is deeply indebted to H.E. The President of India. Hon'ble Vice-President of India, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Hon'ble Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Secretaries and other dignitaries of the Govt.of India and State Govts. for their blessings and good wishes conveyed from time to time, to encourage the Society.

I would like to gratefully acknowledge the help/support both moral and financial and cooper-ation muted for the eye camps or otherwise to our Raison Eye Hospital, Raison Kullu (HP) from District Authorities specially from Deputy Commissioner, Chief Medical Officer and District Programme Manager, District Blindness Control Society, Kullu (HP) and Sight Savers (RCSB) to our various units and branches for providing financial support to eye camps.

In the end, I express my extreme gratitude to the entire NSPB-India team for their selfless effort, untiring cooperation, hard work and support, which made hundreds of “Gift of Sight” possible.

TODAY’S CHILDREN ARE THE NATION’S HOPE FOR TOMORROW.LET US ENSURE THAT NO CHILD IS NEEDLESSLY BLIND.

Today's children are the nation's hope for tomorrow. A healthy child with

a good vision contributes to the family, the society and the nation. Let us

ensure that no child is needlessly blind. A small effort and initiative from

us is all that is needed to bring the Gift of Sight back to the visually

challenged child. A little compassion can do wonders.

Page 24: ANNUAL REPORT 2011-12 · In layman's terms, the Cornea is the clear transparent portion in front of the round black portion of the eye. The cornea losses its transparency and does

The Gift of Sight is a Gift of Life. Most of us can give this gift and it does not cost anything to donate our eyes after

we are no more. At the last count there were 6.8 million people who are needlessly blind. Every year 50,000

people with corneal blindness add to this gure. Only 22,000 corneas which could give the Gift of Sight to a

corneal blind, are donated every year though there are 8.6 million deaths. We lose 17.2 million eyes which are

either burnt in the funeral pyre, cremated or buried in cofns. Even if one out of 10 people who die pledge their

eyes for donation, India would have zero corneal blindness in less than a decade. Most of them can see again with

a simple surigical procedure. They can get this Gift of Sight through your donation. It is legal. It is free.

The Government supports it.

Eye donation after one is no more is very simple. Donate your eyes today by pledging it. Contact the nearest eye

bank or call nationwide toll free No.1919, ll the form that you will nd inside this report and give this Gift of Sight

to someone who is waiting. Just imagine the delight, happiness and bliss an unfortunate needlessly cornea blind

person would experience when he or she will be able to see with your donated eyes after you are no more….

something that is of no use to you makes a world of difference to someone who is visually challenged.
