With Your Support, Azra Bibi Can See Again

Azra Bibi's Story

Azra Bibi, a 59-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.

Azra’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 surgery was scheduled for 29th July 2024 at Life Hospital Lahore. An experienced surgeon, Dr. Shaheer skillfully managed her case and restored her eyesight. She said with deep emotions, “I never thought I’d ever be able to see clearly again. I am forever grateful to those who made this happen.”

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.
