Sponsor a phaco eye surgery for a poor patient

Impact

Every monthly donation helps patients like Ramesh get their life back

Ramesh (41), works as a laborer and is the sole bread-earner of a family of eight. He had work accident in his right eye and within days started to experience dimness of vision. With constant pain in the eyes and near blindness, he lost his ability to work. He was in utter despair and had no way to support his family.

Through a Community Outreach Program by Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital (SCEH), he was diagnosed with a cataract. Considering his age the doctors recommended a phaco surgery, which is quicker and restores quality vision. The doctors performed a phaco surgery on his right eye. As no sutures are needed in this surgery, his visual rehabilitation was extremely fast. He resumed work soon after.

He is grateful for the free quality treatment that gave him his life back.
