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.
