Doctors give blind Iraqi girl new eyes

Shams Kareem, who was blinded and disfigured by a bomb that killed her mother in November 2006, had just been fitted with prosthetic eyes in the culmination of a first round of treatment funded by Sunday Times readers who donated £128,000 to give her a new chance in life

She is sooo cute. God bless her and her family who are going through a tremendous ordeal. Poor thing she might not be aware of her condition being that she's so young, but I hope that London Doctors can do all they can to make her feel better :) Normally she might not restore her vision but they do put prosthetic eyes on patients who lose their vision. They no longer require glass eyes they're also made of plastic nowadays.

Poor girl. It's should a shame to see the innocent victims of war but some relief comes from the knowledge that something is being done to help.

the question is how did she lost them at the first place

@jerryaltman well, then you should experience her pain. I know her pain. my eyes do not work and they are in constant pain. in fact, I have to wear a blindfold when outside as light causes me even more pain. I am hoping that the eye doctor will be3 able to resolve this next month. 6 months of living in pain is far more than enough for a lifetime.btw, medicine does work, but not in all cases.
