Kandahar, Sun 03 May, 2009

An 80 year old man from the Spinboldak district had one eye with ‘No Light Perception’ due to Glaucoma, and a second eye with only ‘Light Perception’ due to a mature cataract and other complications. He had been unable to see for about 6 years and could not walk because of his low vision.

His family took him to a neighboring country, but the doctors there were not able to perform surgery. When they brought him to Kandahar Noor Eye Hospital, a successful cataract surgery was performed and he was able to see his family members for the first time in 6 years.
