On the occasion renowned ophthalmologist Dr.Tatyarao Lahane, Dean of Grant Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals was felicitated by SS Bapat GM, Regional Services, Western Region for his exemplary service to the society. Dr. lahane has performed over 1 lac cataract operations over the years, speaking on the occasion. Dr. Lahane stated our country with a population of 121 crores barely donates eyes, whereas we import eyes from Sri Lanka, which is just as big as one of India's many states. He further emphasized that it is imperative for all citizens to break free of the unwarranted fear regarding eye donation and step forward to help the unprivileged.
