From Darkness to Hope

Description:
A daily wage laborer suffering from bilateral cataracts was unable to continue working, pushing his family into financial hardship. Identified through a hospital-based outreach referral program, he underwent cataract surgery in one eye initially.

Post-surgery, his vision improved enough to resume work while preparing for surgery in the second eye.

Impact:
Restored vision enabled him to earn again, improving household income and stability. The case highlights how cataract surgery directly contributes to poverty reduction.
