What
can I do to prevent eye injuries?
The most common cause of injury leading to stem cell deficiency
is chunna or common lime. At L V Prasad Eye Institute doctors
have found that 80% of injuries that cause grave stem cell
damage are caused by exposure to chunna. Parents and guardians
must be very careful and ensure that children never have any
access to chunna packets. Adults must also guard against accidental
exposure to packets of chunna if they burst.

A chunna packet can explode
as the gases in it are
released, endangering children or adults nearby.
