Restore Saira’s Eyesight and Hope

Saira Mumtaz's Story

Saira Mumtaz, a 9-year-old girl from Multan, has been suffering due to poor vision. As her eyesight deteriorates, she finds it increasingly hard to concentrate and perform routine activities. Her parents took her to the doctor, who performed a thorough examination and diagnosed her with a cataract in her right eye. The condition may lead to further deterioration of her eyesight and adversely affect her quality of life. The doctor recommended Lense matter aspiration (LMA) with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation as the most effective treatment to restore her vision. However, Saira’s family cannot afford the expenses required to undergo the recommended surgery.

Without surgery, Saira’s vision loss will continue and may lead to complete blindness. That will completely take away Sara’s independence and increase her family’s challenges. A timely intervention is necessary to prevent the deterioration of her condition and to preserve her quality of life.

Saira and her family live in a modest house. Her father, Muhammad Mumtaz, is a laborer who earns only PKR 15,000 monthly. He has to spend PKR 3000 on educational expenses and PKR 2000 on utility bills. The income is insufficient to cover even their basic expenses. Thus, he cannot support Saira’s surgery.

Saira’s family says: 

“With weakened eyesight, her life has become more difficult. The world is getting more and more blurred for her. We’re afraid she will stop seeing things altogether. To regain her vision and return to a normal life, she needs surgery. Please help her recover.”
