Each year, World Eye Donation Day reminds us of the profound impact a single act of kindness—eye donation—can have on someone’s life. This day is a call to raise awareness about corneal blindness and the importance of eye donation to help restore vision in those who have lost it.
On this meaningful day, Nelson Hospital Nagpur has taken a remarkable step by launching its Ophthalmology department and successfully performing its first intraocular implant surgery, marking a new chapter in advanced eye care for Central India.
World Eye Donation Day is observed globally to educate people about the need for eye donation and to motivate more individuals to pledge their eyes after death. Corneal blindness affects millions in India, and many cases can be treated with corneal transplants—provided donors are available.
India faces a huge gap between the demand and supply of donor eyes. This day spreads awareness about this shortage and promotes the cause of vision restoration. It’s a day of hope, and this year, Nelson Hospital gave it a new meaning through action.
With a legacy of delivering multi-specialty healthcare services, Nelson Hospital in Nagpur has consistently strived to provide quality treatment across various medical domains. On World Eye Donation Day, the hospital further strengthened its commitment to healthcare by officially launching its Ophthalmology Department.
This department will now offer a wide range of eye treatments, including cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, retinal diagnostics, corneal care, and now, intraocular implant surgeries—making Nelson Hospital a comprehensive destination for advanced eye care in Nagpur.
The highlight of this special day was the first successful intraocular implant surgery performed in the newly inaugurated OT (Operation Theatre). This milestone surgery was led by the experienced and highly regarded eye specialist, Dr. Bodhraj Dhawan, who ensured a seamless and successful procedure.
The patient, who had previously faced significant vision issues, expressed immense satisfaction and gratitude after the smooth surgery. The entire surgical team and support staff received praise for their precision, professionalism, and compassionate care.
Intraocular implant surgery is a medical procedure where an artificial lens is implanted inside the eye, often after removing the natural lens during cataract surgery. It plays a crucial role in restoring or improving vision and can dramatically improve the quality of life for patients suffering from cataracts or certain types of eye injuries.
The procedure is typically safe, quick, and highly effective, especially when conducted by skilled professionals like Dr. Bodhraj Dhawan at a well-equipped facility like Nelson Hospital Nagpur.
Nelson Hospital is now home to a dedicated eye care unit, equipped with the latest diagnostic machines, surgical tools, and sterile operation theatres that meet global standards. With the successful inauguration of this department, Nelson Hospital has taken a giant leap toward addressing regional eye health concerns.
The hospital’s reputation for patient-centric care, advanced medical technology, and experienced specialists makes it a top choice for residents in Nagpur and surrounding areas.
As part of the World Eye Donation Day observance, Nelson Hospital also conducted an awareness campaign to educate the public about:
Hospital staff, doctors, patients, and local citizens actively participated in the campaign, taking pledges and spreading the message on social media. The initiative aimed to build a stronger, more informed community that supports eye donation awareness.
Dr. Bodhraj Dhawan is a senior ophthalmologist with years of experience in performing complex eye surgeries. His leadership and expertise brought confidence and success to Nelson Hospital’s first intraocular implant surgery. His approach combines clinical excellence with patient empathy, making him a trusted name in eye care in Nagpur.
His presence at Nelson Hospital ensures that the newly inaugurated Ophthalmology Department is in expert hands.
