Nazia investigated for IOL treatment
FMH is the hope for the less privileged as it provides free cataract treatment to the deserving community. During the last three months, more than 300 patients received successful Intra – Ocular Lens (IOL) treatment.
Nazia (mentioned in the picture) has properly restored its vision, thanks to the free treatment at FMH. Life of the mother of five young children was getting darker and darker as she could not afford.
Nazia is thankful to the donors, who have generously donated for the treatment as her world has been enlightened. There are many others like Nazia who wait for our help. Let’s join our hands and help them see the world.

Help them see the world!
By Dr. Shabnum Sarfraz | Technical Advisor
FMH has been a great source of hope for many people. It provides free cataract treatment to the deserving community. 114 patients received successful Intra-Ocular Lens (IOL) treatment at FMH in the month of February, 2012.
In the picture above, Afzal is being given an eye-check up. He has a family to support and he could not finance for the treatment and was postponing it since long. With the help of FMH, his treatment was completed successfully.
The families of patients who received the treatment were extremely grateful for the free services being provided. We thank all our donors who helped a number of deserving patients. There are many others like Afzal, who depend on us to help them. Let’s join our hands and help them see the world!

Changing Lives
By Dr.Shabnum Sarfraz | Technical Advisor
Free eye camps for the cataract blind received an overwhelming demand by the patients, so much that the number of camps set up in a year had to be increased to 5 instead of 2 (as mentioned in the program). Out of a total target of 150 patients, 121 received successful Intra-Ocular Lens (IOL) treatment.
Deserving and needy patients who attended the eye camps were offered free surgical expertise by the Fatima Memorial Hospital (FMH).Their IOL treatments and post operative medicines were also provided for free till the patient was finally discharged after about two months.
Most patients were from low socio economic class and were the sole breadwinners of the family. Amongst those was a shop employee who supports a family of seven. He was delaying surgery for economic reasons but with the availability of free cataract treatment, he has been able to benefit from the free eye cataract and IOL surgery camp at FMH. This program changed his and of many others’ who have benefitted substantially from this charitable program.
FMH and Cataract patients are most obliged to their caring donors who have made this treatment successful. Your continued support will facilitate FMH in reaching yet to be treated cataract patients who have not been able to receive treatment due to lack of funding and facilities.
