To have gone blind and regain vision is a miraculous recovery thanks to the efforts of one of the best eye hospitals in India.Reincarnation of healthy vision in my existing life because of corneal transplant is one I won’t forget.

For decades my life felt meaningless and purposeless. I was handicapped for almost 30 years due to my eye problems. My left eye had white spots which worsened over a period of time and finally I was deemed blind by my left eye. For about 10 years, I have been consulting various eye doctors, eye specialist but all they did was tell me that I am growing old. Constantly during the consults I was asked as to why I felt the need to treat my left eye. All they did was give me eye drops and disappointment. My hopes shattered always. My existence seemed to fade. I had suicidal thought and this worried my kids who would constantly be around to make sure I was happy. This was saddening as I felt I was stealing their comfort, peace and happiness.

GIFT OF SIGHT

"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see."
-Helen Keller, famed deaf blind author.

We have many such Helen Kellers even today. There are more than 12 million blind people in India out of which about 4 million are corneally blind which means that their corneas are the cause of their blindness. The cornea is the transparent clear front surface of your eyes. It plays a major role in seeing by helping the light rays converge as they enter the eye.
