Help provide cataract surgery to people in Rajasthan by Sapna

Help poor elderly to see the world once again

Swaroop is a 75-year-old man, who belonged to a lower class family of Chandoli in Alwar district of Rajasthan. Given his age, he started losing his eyesight and soon he could not see at all. He went to a private hospital where the doctor informed him that he was suffering from an incurable hyper mature cataract. Devastated at the thought of not being able to see again, Swaroop one day got to know from his relative about Mahatma Gandhi Netralaya . He went there for a check-up in the hope of a positive news. To Swaroop's happiness, the doctor there told him that his eyesight can be restored through an operation. Swaroop's heart sank once again on getting to know about the cost involved in the surgery. He again became hopeful about getting his sight back when he was told that Sapna sponsors cataract surgeries of patients from underprivileged backgrounds.

He went through a successful cataract operation on January 15, 2019 and stayed in the hospital for few days under doctor's observation. He couldn't thank the doctor and Sapna enough when his bandage was removed and he once again could see the world around him. He was discharged with eye drops and sunglasses, given free of cost by Sapna. When he came back for a follow-up check-up on January 22, the doctors found his vision very clear.
