LUCKY TO SEE THIS WORLD


                                                                                                    - Sujan Kuikel
Before starting let me ask you some questions and let yourself answer those questions to yourself.
               1)    Can you see the environment around? Can you see this beautiful world?
               2)    Do you think you need your eyes to yourself after you pass away?
               3)    Do you know there are some people who can see this beautiful world only because of you?

Ah! Questions here in this blog too? You might be thinking the same, right? The main thing that inspired me to write this article is the problem I faced in my eye just a week before. First, let me tell you my story.
I woke up, opened my eye. But to god’s sake, only left eye got opened. Then I went a day back in my memory. There I couldn’t find anything that would bring this sort of problem in my eye. Again I asked myself “Was I ok before going to bed yesterday?’ the answer was yes I was. Then I started to remember my dream and I found what had happened. You might be thinking this is not real but do believe me I am saying the things that have really happened to me. In my dream, I had seen an insect entering my eye and that insect slowly came out of my eye as I tried to bring tears in my eye so that it could wash away the insect from my eye. Had that happened only in a dream or had that been in real while I was sleeping? Is the question I am confused till this date. Ok, let’s go to the real incident. I woke up and opened my eye. But to god’s sake, only left eye got opened. I gave a little force to open my right eye I could open it but it was burning and itching. It made me really disappointed. I said to my dad and he asked me to go to the eye hospital. I said it was normal I will have my eye checked in the local clinic. My father hadn’t agreed but I went to the local clinic and the pharmacist suggested me to have my eyes checked in eye hospital. Then I went to my dad and said him the suggestion that the pharmacist had given to me. I took my lunch quickly and caught the bus and went to the eye hospital.
I was feeling about half-blind to me at that moment. There were many things and thoughts that were in my mind. Most of the thoughts were negative like my eyes might not be treated. I might lose the sight of my right eye and many more. At the same time, the thing that came in my mind was to let me know how many people come to check their eyes up in a day and I got really stunned to see too many people waiting for their turn. I became plus one in that mass who were waiting for their turn. Yes, my turn came I knew that I had a wound in my pupil of the right eye and it would take time to recover. But the thing that alarmed me was the doctor’s prescription that if I didn’t use the medicine in time the wound may be transferred in my left eye too. Oh man, I was already felling half-blind and those words mad me ‘quarter to’ blind in my thoughts. I promised myself I am not going to miss a chance to see this beautiful world. There are many things that I have to see. There are my parents at the first. There is my dream that I have to achieve. There is that beautiful her whom I love to see every time. Oh my god, there are many things that I have to do with my eye. Then I bought the medicines that were suggested by the doctor.
After I had bought the eye drops I was suggested to keep some in my eye at that moment. I asked for help with a young man elder than me. He offered his seat to me and helped me to keep drops in my eye (I am really thankful for him and his kind help). I took rest for about five minutes and then I encountered a thing that I never wanted to. That was the vision of my eye was blurred. I stood up and tried to walk but I couldn’t walk that properly. I was feeling really bad at that moment. Again those things spun in my mind am I really going to be half-blind? I don’t want to honestly none want. Then I took my phone out of my pocket and dilled my brother's number hardly and asked him to pick me from there (I am really thankful for I have a brother like him. He has always been supporting me in every moment. Might be other people do not have the same bonding as that of ours). I came home and started keeping those drops hourly in my eye as suggested.

My mind was diverted to the blind people on this earth at that moment. I always had respect for them but at that moment I had more than before. I kept the alarm for a minute in my mobile and closed my eye and took three to four rounds then kept that mobile in a place. I moved a little backward and rounded three to four times and when the alarm ringed I tried to find the mobile. That was what I did to check my ability. Then later I tried without keeping the alarm that became most difficult for me. Then I thought how are those people who have no sight living? How difficult their life is? How they are moving on? Then I remembered that one’s eye can be transplanted to another’s that too after death. We people do not have any use of our eyes after we die. Either our eye is going to be brunt along with our body and be changed into smoke or it is going to be buried and then decayed. What if that same eye can help someone to see the world that we have seen? These things got stuck in my mind.
After 5 days my eye now is getting a little better. Still, the vision of my right eye is blurring but there is neither irrigation nor its red now so I thought I would write something about this incident. The main thing that I would like to say is about 20 people among 1000 are blind in Nepal and the death rate of the total population according to 2014 is 6 per 1000 people. What we can conclude that if the blindness of those 20 people can be recovered then within three and a half years the number of blind people can decrease if all the people donate their eyes. So let us help the blind people to see this beautiful world and let us donate our eyes instead of burning them or letting them decay after we die. The donated eyes are transplanted only after death.

HOPE YOU PEOPLE WILL SHARE THIS ARTICLE SO THAT ONE MORE PERSON WILL DONATE THEIR EYE.


LET’S SEE THE WORLD TOGETHER J
