Brighten Mahnoor’s World with Eye Surgery
Mahnoor Mazhar's Story
Mahnoor Mazhar, a 20-year-old girl from Multan, has been suffering from short-sightedness and blurry vision for four years. She had a traumatic injury to her left eye, and she underwent eye surgery for it. Now, she experiences blurry vision and struggles to see the things around her clearly. She went to a nearby hospital and consulted a doctor, who performed some medical tests and diagnosed her with a left eye Traumatic Cataract. It is the clouding of the lens of the eye due to blunt trauma that damages the lens fibers. Due to her deteriorating eyesight, she feels disconnected from the world and feels isolated and frustrated. Her doctor recommended left Phaco + IOL surgery to restore her vision. However, the surgical cost is out of her financial reach.
Delaying this much-needed surgery may lead to poor visual outcomes and cause blindness in the long run. Mahnoor often bumps into things while walking around the home and performing routine tasks is challenging for her.
Mahnoor lives in a small house with her parents and seven siblings. Her sisters are married and one brother is a mechanic. He is the sole breadwinner in the family and earns just PKR 25000 per month. This monthly income is insufficient to cover the living expenses of eight siblings. Their financial situation is further challenged by the cost of utility bills (PKR 10,000), as well as groceries. Due to their financial constraints, affording to pay for the surgery is impossible for them. During this challenging time, Mahnoor’s family reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance.
Mahnoor expressed her heartfelt plea as follows:
“My vision is fading fast due to cataract and without this surgery, I’ll lose it completely. I want a life without constant struggles. Please help me to see the world clearly.”
Every day is a struggle, yet Mahnoor holds on to hope. We are committed to helping Mahnoor and need your contributions to do so. Open your hearts and be a light in her darkest hour.

Mahnoor Mazhar's Story
Mahnoor Mazhar, a 20-year-old girl from Multan, had been struggling with blurred vision and short-sightedness for the past four years. She had previously suffered a traumatic injury to her left eye, for which she underwent eye surgery. However, Mahnoor did not fully recover and she continued to experience blurry sight in the affected eye. Mahnoor decided to consult a doctor. After performing a comprehensive examination, the doctor diagnosed her with a left eye traumatic cataract. This condition had caused the lens in her left eye to become clouded due to the trauma she had sustained. The doctor recommended a Phaco + IOL surgery to restore her vision and help her lead a better life. However, Mahnoor’s family was unable to afford the surgery.
Mahnoor lived in a small house with her parents and seven siblings. Her brother, the sole breadwinner in the family, worked as a mechanic and earned just PKR 25,000 per month. This amount was insufficient to cover the family’s basic living expenses. The financial strain of Mahnoor’s surgery was an additional burden for the family that struggled to make ends meet. During this time of need, Mahnoor’s family reached out to Transparent Hands for support. We registered her case and arranged the surgery.
On December 10, 2024, Mahnoor underwent the Phaco + IOL surgery at Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Trust Hospital in Multan. Dr. Syed Hassan Raza performed the surgery, making Mahnoor’s world brighter.
Mahnoor’s parents were overwhelmed with gratitude. Her parents said with happiness:
“With your support, our daughter’s life has changed. She is no longer limited by her poor vision, and she can live her life to the fullest. We are forever thankful to you and the donors who made this possible.”
Through the successful surgery, Mahnoor can now fully engage with the world around her. Her family is filled with hope and they extend their deepest gratitude to you. You changed her life.
