Promoting and assisting eye donations using mobile application

Corneal donations are used to restore vision of blinds and people who have lost visual capability due to accidents or diseases. In India among 15 million blind people, 6.8 million suffer from corneal blindness [1]. We took survey of 638 participants to check awareness and to know problems in detail. The study highlights the problems and misconceptions, religious views, illiteracy and many factors which are root causes that prevent eye donations. After analysis of the survey, considering all aspects of the problem and pervasiveness of mobile applications in day to day life, we propose a mobile application as a full proof system. To check efficiency of the implemented system test was taken before and after its use. The full proof system bought increment of 73.41% in their marks. Mobile solution implemented also clarifies all doubts and misconceptions. It helps the users to connect with nearest eye banks using GPS, maps and a light weight Database System. So that maximum number of users will be able to report for possible eye donation. The same solution can be extended further for other organ donation campaigns.
