Sharifan BiBi's Story
Sharifan Bibi, a 78-year-old resident of Lahore, has been suffering from a cataract in her right eye. This condition has a major impact on her eyesight, causing her discomfort and making it difficult to conduct daily tasks like cooking, reading, and walking around independently.
Sharifan Bibi’s eye surgeon advised a right Phaco and IOL surgery to treat the cataract and restore her vision. Sharifan Bibi began experiencing poor eyesight and increased discomfort due to the cataract a few months ago, resulting in considerable impairment in her everyday life.
She lives in a small home in Lahore with her three children. She is a widow, and her son is the family’s only provider, working as a gardener and earning around 25,000 PKR each month. However, this income is not enough to meet the family’s basic needs, such as food, electricity bills, and other daily requirements, leaving them unable to support Sharifan Bibi’s required eye surgery.
Sharifan Bibi’s financial restrictions have been a considerable barrier to recovering her vision with the suggested surgical operation. As a widow, her son’s low income makes it difficult for the family to cover the cost of the surgery.
Sharifan Bibi said it in a depressed tone:
Your kind donations will enable me to restore my vision and completely participate in my family’s everyday activities. To me, this would mean the world.”

Sharifan BiBi's Story
Sharifan Bibi, a 78-year-old woman from Lahore, was suffering from short-sightedness and blurry vision. Upon consultation with a doctor, she was diagnosed with a cataract in her right 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.
Sharifan’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 was 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, she contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for help. After listening to her concerns, we promptly registered the case.
On 29th July 2024, Dr. Shaheer skillfully handled the procedure and inserted the intraocular lens to improve her vision. Sharifan expressed her emotions as follows: “The world seems clear to me now. I am grateful for your support.”
The patient’s family is incredibly grateful to you for supporting them 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.
