Jamila Bibi's Story

Jamila Bibi, a 59-year-old woman from Multan, is suffering from blurry vision in her left eye. This condition is affecting her quality of life. It has become challenging for her to see at night, and see obstacles while walking, significantly increasing the risk of falls for her. She was concerned about her condition and decided to receive a consultation from a doctor. After performing some lab tests, the doctor diagnosed her with a left subluxated lens. It is a condition in which a lens is partially displaced but remains within the lens space, especially in the pupillary area. To allow her to clearly see the world, the doctor advised lensectomy and scleral fixation. Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery is overwhelming for her family.

If Jamila’s subluxated lens is left untreated, it may result in permanent vision loss due to high eye pressure or damage to the retina.

Jamila lives in a small mud house with her six children. Her husband died a few years ago. Her son, the sole breadwinner in the family, is a farmer and brings in just PKR 40,000 per month. This income is insufficient to cover their utility bills of PKR 6000 as well as the educational fees amounting to PKR 10,000. The family is also dealing with a loan of PKR 60,000, making the needed cost of the surgery unaffordable. Jamila’s family is facing financial hardships and the significant cost of the surgery is beyond their financial reach. During this time of need, Jamila reached out to Transparent Hands and asked us for assistance.

Jamila Bibi said with teary eyes:

“My vision is fading fast due to my eye condition, and without surgery, I’ll lose it completely. I need help to see the world again. It’s been a long time since I saw my children’s faces clearly. Kindly support my surgery.”
