You Restored Saira Mumtaz’s Eyesight

Saira Mumtaz's Story

Saira Mumtaz, an 8-year-old girl from Multan, was suffering from impaired vision. Due to her blurry eyesight, she found it hard to focus on her studies. Reading books and walking around her home became increasingly challenging for her. Worried about her condition, her parents took her to a local hospital and consulted a doctor. After running some medical tests, the doctor diagnosed Saira with a cataract in both eyes. Her surgery for the right eye was performed in January 2025, with the support of Transparent Hands. After some time, her doctor advised her to undergo left LMA+ IOL surgery. Unfortunately, Saira’s parents couldn’t afford the surgery.

Saira lived in a modest home with her parents and six siblings. Her father worked hard as a daily wage laborer and made just PKR 400 to 500 per day. This unstable income barely covered their household expenses, including their utility bills, children’s school fees, and food expenses. With so many responsibilities and limited earnings, affording the cost of their daughter’s surgery was beyond their capacity. They feared her condition would worsen, affecting her education and quality of life. During this difficult time, they contacted Transparent Hands and requested assistance. After hearing their concerns, we promptly registered Saira’s case.

On April 9, 2025, Saira was admitted to Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Trust Hospital in Multan. The following day, April 10, 2025, her LMA + IOL surgery for the left eye was successfully performed by Dr. Sadaqat. After the procedure, Saira received proper post-operative care and was discharged in stable condition on the same day.

Saira’s parents said with happiness:

“We are so grateful to you for bringing light into our daughter’s world. We had lost all hope, but your support brought back her smile.”
