Adinia Wirasti Registers as a Cornea Donor Candidate

Kapanlagi.com - According to research, 1 in 1000 people in Indonesia suffer from blindness due to corneal damage. Meanwhile, not many people are willing or brave enough to donate their corneal layers to those in need. Perhaps the reason is that many still do not fully understand the purpose and process of corneal layer donation.

The beautiful actress, Adinia Wirasti, has finally taken the noble step of becoming a cornea donor candidate. The star of the film ADA APA DENGAN CINTA has been trusted to be the ambassador for the 'Help Them To See' campaign initiated by Lions Eye Bank Jakarta to encourage the public to become potential donors.

"Officially a donor and part of the Lions Eye Bank Jakarta Family. In my daily life in the field of acting and visualization, I am moved to voice the needs of those with corneal abnormalities to have a better quality of life," Adinia wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.

One thing that needs to be emphasized. Being a cornea donor candidate does not mean that the process is done immediately. Yes, if we have been designated as a donor, then our cornea will only be taken after death at some point in the future.

"It's not difficult to become a donor candidate, just fill out the registration form and it's good to inform close people. The cornea will be taken when we have passed away. Our decision can have a big impact on our friends who need vision. #HelpThemToSee #EyeSaidYes," Adinia concluded in her post.

The #HelpThemToSee campaign supported by Adinia Wirasti is expected to increase the number of donor candidates and reduce the blindness rate in Indonesia. KLovers who want to become donor candidates can register themselves through the website LEBJ and fill out the provided form.
