Restore Mukhtar Ahmed’s Sight Through Cataract Surgery

Mukhtar Ahmed's Story

Mukhtar Ahmed, a 65-year-old resident of Lahore, finds himself in a distressing situation. Diagnosed with cataracts in his right eye, Mukhtar’s vision has been steadily deteriorating, making even the simplest of tasks a daunting challenge. The doctor’s recommendation for Phaco and IOL surgery offers a glimmer of hope, but Mukhtar’s financial situation presents a formidable obstacle.

Residing in a modest two-room mud house in a village near Lahore, Mukhtar lives with his wife and four children. The family’s sole source of income is his son, who works as a daily wager, earning a meager PKR 28,000 per month. This limited income is barely sufficient to cover the household’s necessities, leaving no room for the substantial cost of the required surgery.

Mukhtar’s condition has left him jobless, further exacerbating the family’s financial strain. As he struggles to navigate his daily life with diminished sight, Mukhtar’s self-confidence and independence have been severely compromised. He longs to regain the ability to see clearly, to reconnect with his loved ones, and to rejoin the workforce, but the cost of the surgery remains out of reach.

Mukhtar said in despair:

“I miss being able to see my wife and children clearly. It pains me to not be able to manage my daily life without this constant struggle. Your generosity can light up my path and restore my vision, allowing me to see my family again and be the provider they need.”
