Vision of another three people was restored last week taking the total number of surgeries successfully done under the Gift of Sight project to 11. The recent surgeries include 10 year old Narender Kumar, who damaged and detached his retina when a syringe needle pierced his eye while playing with his siblings. His father, a rickshaw puller, with four children was hard pressed to take care of the surgery expense.
Amit Kumar, (13) got hurt in the left eye while playing. He had been
operated twice at PGI but needed another surgery. Patient’s father is the only
earning hand in the family of 5. The boy will be able to retain
functional vision after surgery in the left eye.
A 70-year old destitute, Amar Singh, was also operated to restore his failing vision.
Our thanks to Dr. Amod Gupta, and Dr. Vaishali Gupta, whose deft hands work so dexterously and care to bring hope to the sightless. And our fellow Rotarians at Coral Gables in USA feel elated that the fruit of their efforts is helping people across the continents, to see again.
