Abstract
Background: Corneal diseases constitute significant causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide, especially in developing countries. Corneal transplantation offers the potential for sight restoration to those who are blind from corneal diseases. Number of eye donations remain quite insufficient in India. Eye donations are dependent on people willing to pledge their eyes on donation and on relatives to honour that pledge upon the death of the person. Assessment of knowledge and attitude on eye donation is essential for better understanding of the people on different aspects of eye donation. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of online video assisted teaching programme on knowledge and attitude regarding eye donation among nonmedical undergraduate students. Design: Pre experimental one group pre test and post test design. Setting: Nonmedical colleges in Raipur. Sample Size: 50 non medical undergraduate students. Sampling Technique: Non probability sampling technique.
