You Restored Anaya’s Eyesight With Cataract Surgery

Anaya Zahra's Story

Anaya Zahra, a 5-year-old innocent girl from Multan, was suffering from short-sightedness and blurry vision. Upon consultation with a doctor, she was diagnosed with a cataract in her left eye. To restore her vision, the doctor recommended Phaco+IOL surgery. However, affording the cost of the surgery was beyond her family’s financial abilities as they were already facing financial hardships. They have a meager monthly income and they live in a modest home.

Anaya’s life was badly affected by her visual impairment. She used to bump into things while walking and carrying out routine tasks became significantly challenging. She desperately needed the surgery but her parents were unable to pay for it. If left untreated, the cataract could have become worse and increased the risk of glaucoma and even blindness. During this time of need, her parents contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for help. After listening to their concerns, we promptly registered the case.

On 13th May 2024, her left Phaco + IOL surgery was performed by Dr. Safeer Shehbaz at Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Hospital. Her parents were overjoyed with pleasure and said, “With your support, the dark shadows have been removed from our daughter’s life. We have no words to describe our happiness. Thanks for your help!”

The patient’s family is incredibly grateful to you for supporting Anaya and making her surgery possible through Transparent Hands. Your support has brought light back into her life. Not only did you restore her vision but also allowed him to spend her life with independence and dignity. They will never forget your generosity.
