RASMEYEH’S STORY
Rasmeyeh, 59, is married to a scrap dealer and has no regular income. Over the past two years, she has suffered from poor and blurry vision in her left eye. The family’s dire financial conditions have prevented her from having corrective surgery.
Through the Tadamon Program Rasmeyeh visited a specialist doctor at Al Khalidi Hospital. A re-evaluation of her condition found that she suffered from poor visual acuity in her left eye, due to white cataracts, as well as fluid accumulation in the center of vision in her right eye. Rasmeyeh requires a retinal CT scan, a lens implant, and cataract surgery in her left eye, and an intravitreal injection in her right one.
