New Sight, New Opportunity!
Labh did her best to take care of her two children, husband, and his parents, in northern India. That became extremely difficult as cataracts began to form in both eyes.
“My vision started to blur, / making even simple tasks unbearable. / My eyes watered constantly, causing me to have headaches. I felt helpless as my life became very hard.” Lubh said.
After four years of suffering, Labh finally heard some good news. A free eye camp arrived in her village that was organized by Operation Blessing.
“At the camp, a doctor diagnosed me with cataracts and recommended surgery. The fact that it would be free, along with the lenses, felt like a miracle. I was so relieved—I had no way to afford such an operation.”
As the bandages were removed, it was clear that Labh’s life was about to be dramatically transformed.
“I can see my face in the mirror again! I can walk without fear of falling, and now I can care for my children, cook, and do chores with ease. I can even help with their schoolwork and bring lunch to my husband every day.” She continued.
Being able to once again take care of her family has restored Labh’s purpose and joy. She’s even planning to learn how to sew to help bring in some extra income.
“I never thought I would see again, but the team restored my vision. I am deeply grateful to Operation Blessing and everyone who helped. Thank you.”
