Haleema Bibi Wants to See the World Again

Haleema Bibi's Story

Haleema Bibi, a 74-year-old woman from Lahore, is experiencing cloudy and dim vision. Haleema’s life has been badly affected by this visual impairment. Concerned about her condition, she consulted a doctor who recommended Phaco + IOL surgery to treat the visual impairment in her left eye.

The Cataract has made it challenging for her to see obstacles while walking, and her risk of falling has increased. Haleema has lived a long life filled with cherished moments but now her life has been impacted by the limitations caused by the cataract.

Haleema longs to see the smiles of her loved ones and enjoy the remaining years of her life. However, the financial constraints have made it challenging for her to undergo the much-needed surgery. Haleema Bibi lives in her daughter’s house and depends on her for the daily needs. They live in a modest two-room brick house in a rural area of Lahore. The cost of the surgery is overwhelming for the family, which is already struggling to make ends meet.

Haleema faces difficulty while performing basic tasks and her unfortunate condition has made her isolated and depressed. Her family contacted Transparent Hands and asked us to register her case.

Haleema said in despair:

“All I want is to regain my clear sight and independence. I want to see my loved ones. I have become a burden on my family due to my inability to see things clearly. I want to experience the beauty of the things around me again. Please help me.”

Haleema Bibi's Story

Haleema Bibi, a 74-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 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.

Haleema’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.

Her Phaco + IOL surgery was performed at Life Hospital Lahore under the skilled supervision of Dr. Shaheer on July 20, 2024. She expressed her joy, saying, “It’s like a shadow has been removed from my eyes. I can see clearly again. Thanks for being there!”

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.
