A study to assess awareness regarding eye donation among post graduate medical students admitted through NEET pre PG 2014 of Gajra Raja medical college Gwalior, M.P., India Ranjana Tiwari*, Ajit Singh Rajput, Vikas Jain, Manish Goyal, Rakesh Mahore, Sakshi Tiwari INTRODUCTIONVision is the most important sense because it allows interacting freely with the environment and enjoying the beauty of life. Eye is sometimes called the "mirror of soul". It twinkles with humour, sparkles with joy, softens with worry, hardens with anger, and clouds when things go wrong or one loses hope. The eye often reflects physical health. 1 The use of sight is an integral part of early life experience. Most individuals are not consciously aware of the degree to which they depend on it for daily functioning. Once vision becomes significantly limited, it influences the activities of daily living. Even simple tasks become difficult to perform. So eye care is very important to maintain the eye health. The disease of the cornea is one of the major causes of blindness in India for which the vision can be restored by eye donation. Eye donation is an act of donating one's eyes after his/her death. Only corneal blindness can be benefitted through this process no other blinds. It is an act of charity, purely for the benefit of the society and is totally voluntary. 3Corneal blindness contributes 1% of total blindness. 4 Corneal blind can regain vision by keratoplasty and there ABSTRACT Background: According to WHO estimates India has 10 million blind populations. Corneal problems cause a significant proportion of blindness in India. Although effective strategies to prevent corneal blindness are likely to be more cost effective, visual rehabilitation by corneal transplantation remains the major treatment for restoring sight in those who already have corneal blindness. The requirement of donor corneas per year is at least 20 times the current procurement. Objective: To assess the knowledge and attitude of post graduate medical students regarding eye donation and their willingness to pledge eyes for donation. Methods: The present study was a cross sectional study conducted using a pretested questionnaire on 116 Post graduate Medical Students but only 106 actually participated in the study. Results: A total of 106 students actually participated in the study. Among them 63 (59.43%) were males and 43 (40.57%) were females. The maximum percentages of the students were of age group 26-29 years. All the students were aware regarding eye donation but still they felt it was necessary to obtain consent from family members. Conclusion: These data showed that although the awareness is good but still there is imperative need to emphasize to evade myths concerning eye donation to promote eye donation.

Factors Affecting Eye Donation From Postmortem Cases in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract: In our experience, literacy, socioeconomic status, and prior knowledge of eye donation of next kin had no correlation with donor corneal tissue procurement. Active counseling by a motivated team can be effective even in families with no prior knowledge and low socioeconomic status.
