You Restored Begum Mai’s Eyesight

Begum Mai's Story

Begum Mai, a 64-year-old woman from Multan, had once lived an active and independent life. However, over the past several months, her world had become clouded by severe vision problems. Once routine tasks, such as moving around the house, cooking, or simply finding her way to the door, had turned into daily struggles.

Deeply worried about her declining condition, her family decided to take her to a local hospital. There, she underwent a thorough eye examination followed by several tests. After careful evaluation, the doctor diagnosed Begum Mai with Left Subluxated IOL with Bag Complex. The doctor recommended Left IOL + Bag Removal with Anterior Vitrectomy and Scleral Fixation. Unfortunately, the cost of this specialized surgery was far beyond the family’s means.

Begum Mai is a widow who lives with her daughter and son-in-law. Her son-in-law works as a laborer, bringing home only PKR 15,000 per month. This meager income barely covers their daily living expenses and they were unable to pay for her surgery. The thought of Begum Mai living the rest of her life in near darkness weighed heavily on the family’s hearts. During this time of despair, they turned to Transparent Hands for help. After understanding her case, we registered it without delay.

With your generous donations, Begum Mai was admitted to Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Trust Hospital in Multan on June 3, 2025. Her surgery was successfully performed by Dr. Asif Manzoor on June 4, 2025. After receiving post-operative care, she was discharged in satisfactory condition on the same day.

Begum Mai shared her gratitude as follows:

“You have given me a chance to live my life without fear. I can see clearly again, and it’s all because of your kindness. Thank you for helping me regain my independence.”

Today, Begum Mai is back home, enjoying her improved sight, and moving around with new confidence. She and her family are immensely thankful to you for supporting them during their time of need.
