You Helped Treat Saira’s Impaired Vision

Saira Mumtaz's Story

Saira Mumtaz, a 9-year-old girl from Multan, was suffering from blurry and dim vision. Over time, her vision became so poor that even simple tasks grew increasingly difficult. Her parents became deeply concerned when they noticed how much her daily life was being affected. They took her to a local hospital. After a comprehensive examination, the doctor diagnosed Saira with a cataract in her right eye. The doctor explained that without timely treatment, her condition could worsen, leading to more serious vision loss. To help her regain clear sight, the doctor advised Lens Matter Aspiration (LMA) along with Intraocular Lens (IOL) implantation. However, her family was unable to pay for her surgery.

Saira lived in a humble home with her family. Her father, Muhammad Mumtaz, worked as a laborer and earned just PKR 15,000 per month. Out of this limited income, he spent around PKR 3000 on the educational needs of his children and PKR 2000 on utility bills. The remaining amount was barely enough to provide food and other essentials for the family. With so many responsibilities and such limited resources, affording the cost of Saira’s surgery seemed impossible. When all hopes seemed to fade, Saira’s parents turned to Transparent Hands for help. We swiftly registered her case and assured the family that their daughter would receive the treatment.

On January 29, 2025, Saira was admitted to Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Teaching Hospital in Multan. Dr. Hassan successfully performed the LMA + IOL surgery. After receiving post-operative care, she was discharged in stable condition on January 30, 2025.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, her father said:
“It broke my heart to see my daughter suffer like that. Today, she can see clearly again, and it’s all because of your support. Thank you for giving her a brighter future.”
