Let’s Restore Meer Hassan’s Vision With Eye Surgery

Meer Hassan Kalhoro's Story

For the past 15 years, Meer Hassan Kalhoro, a 42-year-old man from Jamshoro, Sindh, has been struggling with a visual impairment. His right eye constantly itches and turns red, and his vision has become blurry. The discomfort and impaired vision not only affect his ability to work but also make it challenging for him to care for his family. Concerned about his deteriorating eyesight, Meer Hassan consulted a doctor. After a detailed evaluation, the doctor diagnosed him with Pterygium in the right eye—a condition where tissue growth extends over the cornea, causing vision problems. The doctor has advised pterygium excision surgery to prevent further vision loss. Unfortunately, the surgical cost is overwhelming for his family.

If Meer Hassan does not undergo this surgery soon, the condition can progress. It may cause even more severe vision impairment and permanent damage to his eye. Losing his eyesight would mean losing his ability to work, pushing his family into an even deeper financial crisis. 

Meer Hassan is the sole provider for his large family. He earns PKR 30,000 per month as a laborer, which is not enough to cover their essential needs. He and his family live in a rented house, paying PKR 3000 per month for rent. What makes his situation even more heartbreaking is that four of his seven children are facing mental health conditions and require constant care and medical treatment. He also has two school-going children whose education expenses amount to PKR  1400 per month. Despite his struggles, he works hard to provide for his family, but the cost of the surgery is beyond his means. During this time of need, Meer Hassan contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for help.

With deep concern in his voice, Meer Hassan said: 

“I have been suffering from this eye condition for years, but I kept working because my children need me. My biggest fear is losing my eyesight completely and not being able to support my family. I ask you to help me get this surgery so I can have a healthy life.”
