Success Story

B. Andal of Porur, Kancheepuram, was in the business of selling snacks on the streets. B. Andal of Porur, Kancheepuram, was in the business of selling snacks on the streets. She had been suffering from weak vision and day-by-day the problem intensified. She reported to the hospital and it was detected that she had developed cataract in both her eyes and she had to undergo surgeries for removal of the same. However, her financial condition stood as an obstacle.

She approached Sankara Nethralaya. She was admitted to the hospital and surgery was performed to remove the cataract. This was done free of cost. Even the cost of the drugs and medicines and the intraocular lens was borne by the Nethralaya.

Now, she is back at work, preparing ?Sundal? (snacks) and selling them on the pavements of her village. Of course, her normal peak sale period being evenings, her eyesight after the surgery has come to her rescue in a big way and now she is able to take the burden of her big family of five persons with ease.
