On detailed history, patient confirmed that she had trauma in left eye long time back for which she took multiple treatment from various hospital but there was no improvement. Then she was refererred to BPA Porecha eye Hospital for the treatment. Patient was not aware about procedure like cornea transplantation which can help the patient to gain back her vision. After detailed examination, counselling and various treatment options, patient got ready for Left Eye Optical Penetrating Keratoplasty with cataractous lens extraction and IOL implantation by open sky technique.
Surgery went successful and the patient is very happy with the outcome going back to her home state with new hopes and determination.
