Human body is one of the most complex machine one has ever seen. It has multiple organ system and senses. The most sensitive organ are eyes which are among the five senses human body consists. Eyes are considered as one of the most delicate organ in human body. These eyes help us to enjoy this beautiful and colorful creation of God.

From the VIBGYOR of rainbow to beautiful hills, everything which can be seen with this small organ is just fantabulous. Eyes are one of the most important organ to live this life and taking care of them is our prime responsibility.

Life Without Vision

As we all know the importance of eyes and their contribution in our daily life, without them, our life would be just black. Some people are born without eyesight and some lost their eyes in an unfortunate accident.

So take out one minute from our busy schedule and think about those people who do not have eyes who miserable their life would be. They can not go anywhere alone. They depend on others when they have to go anywhere. The most disturbing thing is they can’t admire nature’s beauty. Think about them how can handle their daily life chores. They face many types of problems.

What can we do for blind people?

We have responsibility towards them. They are part of our social life. Our social responsibilities towards them is about their care and ease their daily life problems. We can do several deeds for their welfare. But what can we do for them and how?

The biggest help is by boosting up their confidence and courage and make a positive persona towards life. We can boost them up by giving them advice what they can do. There are many blind schools in many countries in which blind people are taught how to earn livelihoods like how to make different different types of candles in different shapes which are sold out in national festivals of those countries. We should encourage these people by buying their products. In many schools, children are taught art and their creative minds are explored. Braille script which is very important for blinds is also taught. The amazing thing is Braille script was invented by Louis Braille who was also a blind.

The most amazing deed we can do for these people is by donating our eyes after death to these needy ones. Eyes Donation is always considered as a great deed because It gives the “Hope of vision” to blinds and definitely it is one of the greatest deed in the world.

So let’s aware the masses about the regular checkup of eyes and about the various programs of the government under which some things are free for the people.
