Why donate eyes?
To begin with for a selfish reason; our eyes can live even after our death. Secondly, more importantly, we can light the life of two blind people by donating our eyes after our death. Thirdly, not to mention, eye donation is the noblest of all causes.
Over 90 percent of all cornea transplant operations performed each year successfully restores vision to people suffering from corneal blindness. Donated human eyes and corneal tissue are also used for research and education. How do research and education help the cause, you may ask. This is a very important aspect of the eye donation movement. More than 35,000 eyes are used annually for research and education. Research into glaucoma, retinal disease, complications of diabetes and other sight disorders benefit from donations because many eye problems cannot be simulated and only human eyes can be used. These studies advance the discovery of the causes and effects of specific eye conditions and lead to new treatments and cures.
Other than these, there are a few more compelling reasons why you need to donate your eyes and these include:
1.5% of the population are unnecessarily blind
25% live below the poverty line
2.5 million children are suffering, including those who don't have the correct spectacles
32% are under 15
60% of blind children will not make it to adulthood. A cumulative economic loss to India's GNP of US$11.1 billion
75% live in rural areas
There are 12,000 ophthalmologists in the country but the majorities of them live and work in the urban areas
40% live in rural areas in central & northern India where there is little access to quality eye care services.

Sponsor A Child." Your support can make a world of difference!"
An Experience to Cherish...
Child sponsorship is a meaningful and rewarding experience through which one person changes the life of a needy child and the world where he or she lives for the better. One of the most meaningful aspects of child sponsorship is that it is a relationship that can be cherished. It is always wonderful to know that you are changing the life of a little child for the better. Visiting your sponsored child is an altogether exhilarating experience. It is through visits like these that sponsor experience firsthand the joy of one small practical expression of love. It will help you realize that there's more to sponsorship than just sending money.Here are the experiences of some of our sponsors who visited their sponsored children...
The best part of my visit was the moment I saw Sneha, she instantly recognized me and, with great joy, rushed into my arms! This was one of the greatest moments of my life, which I will truly cherish. I am very grateful to God for this. She showed me her drawings and all the Kannada words that she had written. Although we were miles apart, the feeling that shw will always be part of our little family gives us immense joy. Our grateful thanks to World Vision for the privilege of knowing Sneha and her family. We left the place with immense joy and peace, knowing that through World Vision's programmes many lives have been changed. Now, people have better living conditions and access to good literacyprogrammes, better medical facilities and clean water.
Mrs. and Mr.Winston Moses
Child sponsorship is not just about giving some money. It's easy to give money. What matters is the involvement and the relationship. Giving people your time is more difficult than simply giving away your money.
Mrs. Hyma Ramachandran
I wanted this to be the best birthday yet. We were so happy to see Revati who had come to meet us with her mother. She seemed so shy and innocent. I asked Revati what she likes and then gave her the doll I had brought. She was delighted because she is fond of playing with dolls.The happiness and joy on her face was so touching.I was so satisfied with the feedback they gave me as to how the organization works and how they contribute to society by catering to each individual's needs and making them independent so that they can work and earn and live a good healthy life. I then realized how my small help made a big difference to society as a whole.
Mrs. Neelam Raut
It was indeed a great experience to visit Sudha at Perambalur. My family and I were touched by the warm reception we were given by the project people and especially the small kids.There is no doubt that World Vision is doing a great job. We observed great commitment and dedication in all the staff. We are thankful to all of them for their love and affection. The children were very talented and they displayed tremendous self-confidence in whatever they did. Our message to them was "dare to dream and become great men and women"Our visit to Perambalur will serve as a milestone in our life and it has definitely enthused us to work and do more with World Vision India.
