With Your Support, Niamat Masih Can See Again

Niamat Masih's Story

Niamat Masih, a 63-year-old man from Okara, was suffering from short-sightedness and blurry vision. Upon consultation with a doctor, he was diagnosed with a cataract in his left eye. To restore his vision, the doctor recommended Phaco+IOL surgery. However, affording the cost of the surgery was beyond his financial abilities as he was already facing financial hardships. His family has a meager monthly income and they live in a modest home.

Niamat’s life was badly affected by his visual impairment. He used to bump into things while walking and carrying out routine tasks became significantly challenging. He desperately needed the surgery but was unable to pay for it. If left untreated, his cataract could have become worse and increased the risk of glaucoma and even blindness. During this time of need, he contacted Transparent Hands and asked us for help. After listening to his concerns, we promptly registered the case.

With your support, his left Phaco + IOL surgery was performed by Dr. Shaheer at Life Hospital Lahore on 20th August 2024. He carefully removed the cloudy lens in his eye and replaced it with an artificial intraocular lens.

He said, “I can’t believe I can see things now. I am grateful to you for this incredible gift.”

The patient’s family is incredibly grateful to you for supporting them and making this surgery possible through Transparent Hands. Your support has brought light back into his life. Not only did you restore his vision but also allowed him to spend his life with independence and dignity. They will never forget your generosity.
