This is Bodhi Devi. She had become bilaterally blind with cataract. All she could see was a fog like styructure in front of her eyes (PL Plus). She could not work, cook, or even walk without help. Her son carried her on his back from their very remote village so that she could attend the Drishti Eye Care Hospital screening camp in Matihani, Kutumba, Aurangabad district. Following successful cataract surgery, her vision was completely restored (6/18). She was able to see her son’s face and was able to walk home with him; just days after he had needed to carry her. With a focus on sustainability, Drishti Eye care Hospital is working on capacity building by enhancing community participation to provide top quality eye care for all and vital sight-saving eye care services to the poor.
