Dr Rajkumar Eye Bank of Narayana Nethralaya launches exclusive number to pledge eyes
Those who wish to pledge their eyes as a donation have to give a missed call to 8884018800
Through its Dr Rajkumar Eye Bank, Narayana Nethralaya has been able to create awareness about the importance of eye donation since 1994. Now it has launched an exclusive number – 8884018800 – through which those who wish to pledge their eyes as a donation can register their names.
The exclusive number has been set up by the Dr Rajkumar Eye Bank of Narayana Nethralaya. Pledging eyes means making a formal and voluntary commitment to donate eyes after one’s demise. Those who wish to pledge their eyes as a donation have to give a missed call to 8884018800. The eye bank will send a link to a form that has to be filled out to complete the formality of pledging. Once the form is filled out and submitted, the intended donor will immediately get an ‘eye pledge certificate’ and further instructions for eventual eye donation.
The exclusive number was formally launched by film star Raghavendra Rajkumar, who lost his younger brother, popular star Puneeth Rajkumar, two months ago. Puneet Rajkumar’s eyes gave sight to four people, thanks to a new technology adopted by Narayana Nethralaya.
