Ayesha Allah Ditta's Story

Ayesha, aged 7, a resident of Multan is suffering from developmental cataract affecting her  left eye. A developmental cataract occurs early in childhood. Cataract is a clouding of the clear lens that eventually interferes with vision. Some signs and symptoms of cataracts include: dim, clouded or blurred vision, difficulty with vision during night, increasing sensitivity of the eye to light and glare, seeing “halos” around lights, double vision in affected eyes. In order to heal from ailment, Ayesha has been advised to undergo LMA  of her left eye and placement of the intraocular lens (IOL).  LMA with an intraocular lens (IOL) is a brief surgical procedure where the cataract-affected lens inside the eye is removed, and replaced with an artificial lens in its place. As, Ayesha awaits LMA of the left eye with an intraocular lens (IOL), her father shares their ordeal in the following words:

In these circumstances I can not afford to pay for my daughter’s eye surgery. But this surgery is crucial for her well-being as her vision is also deteriorating.”
