Glaucoma

An 80-year-old man from the Spinboldak district had one eye that he couldn’t even see light due to Glaucoma. He could only see light with his other eye, 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 neighbouring 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 imagine his joy at being able to see his family members for the first time in 6 years.
