Tatyarao Lahane

He is the one with passion who enabled the "dreams of the blinds " into the reality. 

A man who knows how important life is and how it is valuable for 
others too.

Born in a farmer's family in a village in Latur District of Maharashatra, came to Bombay for his own kidney transplant, as 
both of his kidneys were not functioning.His mother donated one of her kidneys, thus giving him a rebirth of sorts. 

In my experiences all around he is the Unique eye sergon with no 
opticals (as compair to his age)

He learnt the meaning of egoless serving form "BABA AMTE" so He Serves his mastery as being Head of Ophthalmology Department in J J Hospital - Mumbai, organizes eye checkup camps all over the state, particularly in the rural n tribal areas.

He stressed about the importance of the latest equipment, the operator of the equipment is more important. His team spirit was 
vital for the success of the operations.

He is Dr.Tatyarao Lahane, performed 35,000 surgeries without 
using medical stitches during operations.

He created a world record by performing 100,000 cataract successful operations.
(Cataracts: are a common cause of vision loss, especially as we age)


Among the 100,000 phaco-emulsification procedures
(the most 
common surgical procedure for removing cataracts)
Tatyarao Lahane has done, 1,211 were performed on leprosy patients at Baba Amte's Anandvan in Warora near Nagpur. 

So many phaco-emulsification procedures on leprosy patients is in itself a world record that he wasn't so far publicized.

He said,"there will be no blinds in India if we bring Eye bank to 
every town and donate the eyes. we have very less eye banks than news channels. To reduce the gap between the people in need of eyes and those willing to donate, it is necessary to bring 
awareness about eye donation, according to an ophthalmologist.

In Maharashtra, 35,000 people needed eyes and only 10,000 to 
15,000 had been donated for corneal transplant. To meet the gap, more and more people should donate their eyes." 

He said in accidents, many times head or eye injury caused blindness. The only remedy for such blindness was corneal transplant But corneal transplant and it was possible only if eyes 
were available.

Man in black is Dr. Lahane


P.s. 
Another eye surgeon Balchandra had performed 86,000 operations earlier in a span of 35 years. 

Earlier, two Indian eye surgeons Modi and Reddy had set a world 
record by performing over 250,000 cataract operations. They were banned by the government because of their high failure rate.
