<p align="justify">Parmeshwar Shah, a resident of Sursar in Sitamarhi district of Bihar, had left farming several years ago. He lived a happy life with his family of two sons and two daughters, and a caring wife. His elder son was married and living separately with his wife.</p>
<p align="justify">Shah used to sell ice-cream on his bicycle and was earning a decent sum of Rs. 400 a day. His younger son and daughter were attending school. He was also able to save some money for the marriage of his eldest daughter.</p>

<h3 align="justify">Two years ago, Shah's world turned upside down.</h3>
<p align="justify">His worst fears came true. He started developing cataracts. The clouding of the lens spread in both the eyes.</p>
<p align="justify">Soon he experienced total inability to see in the left eye and his vision on right eye was very low.</p>
<p align="justify">He started going out less and working for a reduced number of hours. He covered only a few lanes near his house and with great difficulty. This resulted in a huge loss as his income saw a sharp fall; it dropped to Rs. 50 a day.</p>
<h4 align="justify">Things became worse in the last three to four months before his surgery.</h4>
<p align="justify">He completely stopped stepping out due to very poor vision. He could hardly walk. He was entirely dependent on his wife for food and other activities.</p>
<h4 align="justify">His children dropped out of school for not being able to afford school fees, tuition fees and other related expenses.</h4>
<p align="justify">The family was surviving on the money that he had saved for the eldest daughter&rsquo;s wedding. But it was fast depleting, and cataracts were becoming the centre point of their lives.</p>

<p align="justify">Shah&rsquo;s son brought him to our eye screening camp after hearing our awareness campaigns.</p>
<p align="justify">Parmeshwar Shah was screened at the eye camp and selected for cataract surgery to restore his sight. He was then taken to&nbsp;<a href="../../about-us">Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital&rsquo;s</a>&nbsp;facility at Mastichak.</p>
<p align="justify">Treatment was started, and surgery was carried out in his left eye. He responded well and showed good signs of progress.</p>
<h4 align="justify">He left our hospital with a bright smile on his face and the determination to work harder to gain his lost ground.</h4>
