This eye donation program is still controversial in Nepals’ society even though it has been heavily supported by politicians and celebrities who support the program by donating their own eyes upon death. Religion and culture of the society are often in the way of the procedures performed during an eye donation. However, the number of donors and successful surgeries is rising slightly every year. It’s a question of awareness by educating the people to bringing more light on eye donation for the Nepalese, as they are the ones who benefit of from the program the most.
