Continuing with the Gift of Sight project of Rotary Club of Chandigarh in association with Rotary Club of Coral Gables, USA, under the Rotary Foundation's matching grant, the sight of an auto mechanic has been restored.
Subhash, a 50 year old auto mechanic from Kartarpur in Punjab, was operated on 26th September 2008 by Dr. Vaishali Gupta at the Advance Eye Centre, PGI, Chandigarh.
Subhash had been diagnosed with lens disorder, internal bleeding and retinal detachment in his left eye. This was a result of an industrial injury that he had suffered due to blunt trauma with a steel spring.
Subhash is the only earning hand in his family of six including four children. He will be able to gain functional vision in his left eye after the surgery.
This is the sixth surgery under the project.
