Bushra Awaits Surgery for Chronic Dacryocystitis
Bushra Latif's Story
Bushra Latif, a 36-year-old woman from Hyderabad, has been suffering from an eye condition for the past three years. Her vision is clouded by a constant watery discharge from her right eye, often accompanied by redness and irritation. After years of discomfort, Bushra finally received medical attention. Following a detailed examination, the doctor diagnosed her with Chronic Dacryocystitis of the right eye – a condition in which the tear drainage system is blocked, leading to infection and inflammation. The recommended treatment is a Right Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), a surgical procedure to relieve the blockage and restore normal tear drainage. However, Bushra can’t pay for her treatment. What began as a mild issue has now become a painful and chronic condition that affects Bushra’s daily life, especially in the school where she works as a teacher.
Without this surgery, her condition may worsen, potentially leading to severe infections and further vision issues.
Bushra’s life hasn’t been easy. As a divorced woman, she has faced her share of struggles, raising her son on her own. Her son is currently studying in school. Bushra earns a modest salary of PKR 5000 as a teacher, and her siblings also contribute to the household. Their combined monthly income is PKR 25,000 per month. They live in a rented house and barely manage to pay PKR 8000 for house rent, along with PKR 2000 for utility bills. With such limited means and growing medical needs, Bushra finds herself unable to afford the cost of the required surgery.
Bushra said in despair:
“I’ve been living with this pain for years, and it’s affecting everything—my work, my focus, and even how I care for my son. I just want relief from this discomfort, to see clearly again, and to continue supporting my child.”

Bushra Latif's Story
Bushra Latif, a 36-year-old woman from Hyderabad, had been suffering from a painful eye condition for the past three years. Her right eye was constantly irritated, with persistent watery discharge, redness, and discomfort that worsened over time. The condition disrupted her daily life, making it hard to focus on work and care for her son. Eventually, her discomfort became unbearable, and Bushra visited a doctor. After a thorough examination, she was diagnosed with Chronic Dacryocystitis of the right eye—a condition where the tear drainage system becomes blocked, leading to recurring infections and inflammation. The doctor recommended a Right Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). However, its cost was far beyond what Bushra could afford.
Bushra has faced many challenges in life. As a divorced woman, she is raising her son alone. She works as a teacher and earns just PKR 5,000 per month. She lives in a rented home with her siblings, who contribute to household expenses, bringing their total monthly income to PKR 25,000. With school fees and other daily expenses, they have little left for medical costs. Affording surgery was out of the question. During her time of need, Bushra turned to Transparent Hands. Her case was registered, and with the generous support of donors, her surgery was arranged.
On May 29, 2025, Bushra’s surgery was performed at Isra University Hospital, Hyderabad. Dr. Rizwan Akhund performed her procedure with great care. Bushra received the necessary medicines and was discharged in satisfactory condition on the same day.
Grateful and relieved, Bushra said:
“I am thankful to you for helping me when I had no way to afford the treatment. I was facing discomfort for so long, but your help gave me comfort, healing, and hope. I will forever remain grateful for your support.”
Thanks to your help, Bushra is now free from pain and irritation and can resume her daily activities with ease and clarity. This change in her life was made possible just because of your generosity.
