The medical science behind organ donation is progressing at an unprecedented rate – but it is still vital to overcoming the public’s reluctance to register their eyes for donation. Here are the Tej Kohli Cornea Institute’s top ten reasons why you should register as a cornea donor.
Corneal Blindness is One of the Major Global Causes of Blindness
There are an estimated 4.9 million people worldwide who are corneally blind in both eyes. It is the second biggest cause of blindness in developing countries. Of the 10 million blind people in India alone, 1.1 million have corneal blindness.
Corneal Transplants are the Only Known Cure
Removing all or part of a damaged cornea and replacing it with healthy donor tissue is currently the only known way of reversing the effects of corneal blindness.
The Success Rate is Extremely High
In around 85% of corneal transplant operations, the transplanted tissue is accepted by the host body, successfully restoring the recipient’s vision.
Corneal Donations are Very Easy to Carry Out
Matching Donors with Recipients Improves the Procedure
Research by the Collaborative Corneal Transplant Studies suggests that corneal transplants are most successful when donors and recipients are matched by blood type. An increase in the number of donations improves the likelihood of compatible donor tissue being available.
Almost Anyone Can be a Donor
The number of factors limiting people from becoming cornea donors is extremely small. There are only a handful of infections and highly communicable diseases, such as HIV and hepatitis, that exclude people from becoming donors.
Many Donors Still Opt Out
There is a reluctance among the public to donate their eyes. In the UK, 10% of organ donors withhold consent for certain organs, with eyes by far the most common. 55% of organ donors who requested for specific organs not to be donated, did so for their eyes.
There is Little Visible Effect
One understandable reason people are often reticent to donate their eyes is that they are worried about disfigurement to their body, especially if it will be viewed by mourners. However, only the thin, clear tissue covering the front of the eye is donated, leaving the appearance of the donor unchanged.
Many Religions Encourage Donation
Another reason many people are hesitant to donate their corneas is that they are unsure if it is accepted by their religion. Most major world religions, including Catholicism, Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism, either accept or actively encourage organ donation.
THANKING YOU.
HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Khalid ibn al-Walid- Tactics and Strategy

  Khalid ibn al-Walid (592–642), known as the "Sword of Allah," is one of the most celebrated military commanders in history. His tactics and strategies were instrumental in the early Islamic conquests, particularly during the Rashidun Caliphate. Here’s an in-depth look at his military genius: Key Characteristics of Khalid's Tactics and Strategy Adaptability and Flexibility : Khalid was known for his ability to adapt to changing battlefield conditions. He could quickly alter his plans based on the enemy's movements and terrain. Example: During the  Battle of Yarmouk  (636 CE), he shifted forces dynamically to counter Byzantine maneuvers, ensuring victory despite being outnumbered. Speed and Mobility : Khalid emphasized rapid movement to surprise and outmaneuver his enemies. His forces often traveled light and moved quickly across vast distances. Example: His famous  march from Iraq to Syria  in 634 CE, covering over 800 kilometers in just 18 days, allowed him to...
