Noor’s world is colourless 

Noor Fatima's Story

Noor Fatima, a three year old girl, from Muzaffargarh, has seen much at such an infantile age without having the vision to actually see- Noor’s world is colourless. 

Three years old Noor Fatima, has been suffering from blurry visions since birth. Noor cannot play or go out to see the world like other normal kids. This short sightedness has limited her life and is holding her back from living her childhood to the fullest. Noor’s family contacted Transparent Hands and came for a consultation from our doctor. She was diagnosed with Bilateral Congenital Aphakia.  Congenital Aphakia is the absence of the lens in the eye since birth. After the diagnosis, Noor was advised to undergo a right eye Anterior Vitrectomy and IOL  under general anaesthesia. The goals of Anterior Vitrectomy are to remove the vitreous from the anterior chamber and to allow an IOL to be placed.

“Sometimes, due to cloudy vision, Noor gets very irritated and starts crying hysterically. That’s when I feel helpless the most.” -Noor’s father.

Noor’s father is a daily wager who earns around PKR. 500 daily. With three other children to take care of it becomes difficult meeting ends. He cannot afford the hefty amount of this surgery.
