Touching Souls Intl. Gives Vision To Blind

Without the light of eyes, the beauty of the colorful sky,the vastness of the ocean, the magnificence of nature and the very essence of living in this wonderful world becomes meaningless. Ninety year old Dibba Sunduri of village Kacharipara of Nilganz lost her husband nine years ago. Now she's living in his son's family. For the last five years she was cataract blind and two years before that she had blurry vision. Staying with her son's family it was completely impossible to have any kind of treatment of her cataract blind condition. When she learned that in the village Banail of Tarail Touching Souls International was having a free eye-camp for the cataract blind persons, she came with the help of her daughter-in-law to the eye-camp October 21st of 2008. More than one thousand patients were screened. Dibba Sunduri was selected to have cataract surgery along with sixty nine patients at that time. After her cataract surgery with her lens implant when the bandage was removed she was speechless to see the light of earth again. Just like Dibba Sunduri three hundred thirty eight people got their eye sight through the support of Touching Souls International. On this November 1st 2009 Touching Souls International is having their next eye-camp in Banail high school, Tarail Thana in Kishoreganz District , Bangladesh where eighty eight cataract blind people been selected out of over a thousand patients,to get their eyesight back

Since the year 2005 Touching Souls International is supporting the free sight restoration and blindness prevention project where in each eye-camp one thousand to fifteen hundred people are screened for their eye problems, they are given free medicines and around eighty cataract blind people get free cataract surgery with lens implants. There are so many people in Bangladesh who are cataract blind; a condition which is curable in most cases. For most of the Bangladeshi's cataract surgery is very expensive so whoever is cataract blind may remain blind throughout their lives, becoming burdensome for their families and society.
