Abstract
We read with great interest the article by Lal et al.1
regarding awareness and knowledge about eye donation
among students in Goa. Even though several studies2,3 have
been reported from south India in regards to eye donation,
there is paucity of literature from central and north India. Lal
and associates1 update us about the current status of eye
donation trends in central India, and we would like to share
our experience from north India.
From March 2017 till February 2018, we interviewed 407
people in Delhi (north India) to understand the trends,
awareness, knowledge, influences, and barriers to eye donation
in Indian society.
