Fatigue, pain, weight loss, bleeding, change in bowel habits, recurrent fever, cough, enlarged lymph nodes are some of the symptoms of cancers that need to be taken care of and paid adequate attention.

Loosing weight without any concrete reason is one of the most basic symptoms of cancer. Do not ignore incase you have a sudden decrease in your diet and sudden loss of body weight.

Also, be extremely cautious of frequent fatigue, feeling of nausea, anaemia etc. The above mentioned conditions need to be given medical attention immediately and not taken lightly at all.

Cancer as such is not painful as it begins, however, as cancer starts spreading nerves and other organs start getting affected, which may cause pain. Therefore, do not ignore frequent pain in any area of part of your body.

A person suffering from cancer may encounter bleeding. It is not always that the bleeding may be detectable but incase you have bleeding in your stools or urine; you must visit a doctor as soon as possible.

Change in bowel habits, diarrhea, blood in stools, thinner stools etc. are some of the causes for concern and symptoms of colon cancer. Beware of these symptoms and seek medical help as soon as you encounter these problems.

Eye Donation is a beautiful way to do some good for the humankind. Donate your eyes; take a pledge to be kind to those who do not have the power or ability to see, for those who are blinded unfortunately.


To donate eyes, you need to be above eighteen years of age. Anyone who is above eighteen years can donate eyes. Sex, blood group, region, religion are not determinant factors when some one decides to donate eyes. People who wear spectacles or people who have undergone surgery like cataract are also fit to donate eyes! Those who suffer from blindness because of any retinal and optic nerve disease can also pledge to donate eyes as long as their cornea is alright. Patients with hypertension, diabetes etc. are also good candidates to donate eyes.


In order to donate eyes of the deceased, the family members are just required to contact nearest Eye Bank as soon as possible (within 6 hours of the event of death). The family members are supposed to close the donor’s eyes and switch the fan off. The AC/Cooler needs to be running and wet cotton needs to be put onto the closed eyelids. The donor’s head needs to be kept raised using a pillow till the Eye Bank reaches the site of donation. The process of eye donation is done with the donor’s kin’s written consent along with two eye witnesses.
Come to Max Eye Care and pledge your eyes for donation. Gift someone vision for life. Donate today

However, when it comes to one’s looks, one can definitely opt to completely transform into and acquire good looks. How is it done? The answer is ‘with the help of cosmetic surgery’. Cosmetic surgery, a medical process, is performed to improve/alter one’s appearance and looks.

Ability to see is one of the greatest gifts from God to mankind. Eyes and ability to see things are priceless. Humankind is, therefore, obliged to take care of the nature’s gift- eyes. Each one of us should take care of our eyes and appreciate our ability to see as not everyone is blessed with the ability to see. Donate your eyes. Do good for those who are not as blessed as you, for those who can not see the world around!


Eyedonation involves donating a person’s eyes after his/her death with proper consent of the person’s family! People who are unable to see because of the corneal disease really benefit from this process of eye donation. Cornea, the clear tissue and the focusing element of eyes drastically reduces or hampers vision totally, incase it becomes cloudy. This condition of cornea and vision is called corneal disease.
There are many factors resulting in corneal disease like eye infections, injuries, mal-nutrition during childhood & hereditary diseases. Through surgery, a damaged cornea can be replaced by a healthy (donor) cornea and blindness of the patient can be cured. The cornea is the only part that is transplanted through surgery and the remaining eye is used to carry on research and further education.


Come to Max Healthcare and donate your eyes to help someone see the world around. Donating the eyes is a great way to do your bit towards the humanity. Gift someone a vision for life. Help someone to fulfill his/her dreams by pledging your eyes for donation at Max Eye Care.
