Being abandoned by her four sons this 77 yrs old lady became very much frustrated and depressed in her life when she could not see anything due to advanced cataract in both eyes. Her life had become a burden for her. Can you imagine the impact of blindness in a person’s life for whom there was nobody to take care of her daily activities? Somebody has truly said that blindness is the greatest tragedy next to death. But the most beautiful thing is that a 5 mins cataract surgery can restore the sight and change the whole world for that person. This happened for this poor old lady too. When she was brought to Trilochan Netralaya through an outreach camp and escorted to operation theatre she was very much frightened as she was not able to see what was happening with her blind eyes. But the very next day when we removed the bandage and she could see everything as before her joy knew no bounds.
