Professor A.K. Amitava, chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at JN Medical College, AMU, delivered an edifying address in which he urged both students and faculty to become eye donation movement ambassadors.
Dr. M. Saquib, the Assistant Eye Bank Incharge, clarified the reasons for the low rate of eye donations and emphasised that eyes can be donated up to six hours after death, eradicating myths about the donation window.
