Addressing
the guests about the importance of eye donation, Actor Chiyaan Vikram said, "It gives me immense pleasure to inaugurate the
new facilities of Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital at Kodambakkam and Tiruvottiyur. The eyes are your
body's most highly developed sensory organs. But many people lose their
opportunity to see this beautiful world, because they are blind.
However, it is
possible to bring back their sight by donating our eyes after death. In this
National Eye donation fortnight, I hope such campaign drive will encourage and inspire others,
especially my fans, to pledge their eyes as well which will help in creating a
positive change in someone’s life.” I appreciate them for their graceful
service in conducting free surgeries to 100 people”
Prof.
Amar Agarwal, Chairman, Dr. Agarwal’s
Group of Eye Hospital, said, "It is with great pride that we have
opened our state-of-the-art hospital in Kodambakkam also in Tiruvottiyur. We have been at the forefront of
innovation in the field of ophthalmology with advanced procedures such a Glued
IOL, SFT, PDEK, and Phakonit. The newly opened facilities will provide high
quality eye-care services to its patients. According to a recent study, India
is the home for 20% of World’s visually impaired. Around 80% of visual
impairment in India was either preventable or curable. Preventable blindness
could be eradicated from our country, if people come forward to pledge their
eyes.”
