Munni’s vision began to fade so gradually she barely noticed it. Like many thousands of older adults living in remote villages around Utraula, she did nothing at first. But over time, her cataracts grew so thick and opaque that she could see light only when it was shined directly into her eyes.

By the time she came to Prem Sewa Hospital, her condition was quite advanced. The ophthalmic surgeons examined her and prepared for a difficult surgery. All went well, and Munni’s sight was restored. She was deeply grateful for the chance to see again and expressed her appreciation to the surgeons.

Access to this procedure is quite limited in rural India, but EHA hospitals provide cataract surgery for thousands of patients each year. Supporting Prem Sewa helps restore sight for people like Munni, giving them the opportunity to live, work, and move through their communities with confidence again.
