Every story started with a family contacting an RBF volunteer.
Glaucoma was taking the sight in both of Um-e-Salma's eyes and her family could not afford treatment. RBF arranged her operation in July 2017, and she is much healthier today.
Marvi was born with anisometropia and was losing her eyesight. Her parents brought her to our eye awareness workshop; the doctor advised a quick operation, and RBF arranged it on 6 August 2017.
Our free eye camp in the Urdu press
Local newspapers covered the RBF free eye camp, where residents of Lyari received eye tests, medicines and referrals for operations at no cost.
