Make a Charitable Contribution

Majority of the blindness affects young victims mostly women and children. The diseased cornea must be replaced by clear donor cornea. But the cost associated with procurement, maintain standards in processing the tissue and transplantation could be met by your generous donation.

Your contribution will enhance us to provide our services at free of cost to those who cannot afford the healthcare costs associated with corneal transplantation. It costs approximately Rs.5000 – 10,000 to perform a corneal transplant surgery and Rs.2000 to process each donated eye and bring light to a life. Every month Rs.17, 000 (US $. 378) is spent for running the eye bank, training doctors, technicians, counsellors, members of Lions Clubs and other NGOs and for promotional activities apart from institutional support
