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.
