The sun shines bright, the sky attaining a perfect blue, flowers blooming and birds chirping; brings us closer to another summer. A time to hit the beach, feel the ocean breeze, the salty hot air and indulge in refreshments. Amidst all the fun and frolic we ignore the most important part of the body- eye. We are reminded about skin care rituals during summer but tend to neglect our eyes when in reality they need special attention.

Glaucoma can be a devastating disease if not taken care of in time. We bring to you Mr. Prakash* ( name changed) eho had visited AEHI eye hospital at Sanpada for his eye problems. He was diagnosed with glaucoma and was treated by Dr. Rajesh Mishra. Heres what he has to say while describing his journey to AEHI eye hospital and his glaucoma:

If one happens to live in a city or town, they may not be that concerned about their eye sight. One can always hop on to any eye hospital and get the necessary treatment. But that wasn't the case for Mr. Akshay Korke*(name changed), 55years old male who lives in the remote village of Maharashtra. When he started having problems with vision, things went downhill for him.

To have gone blind and regain vision is a miraculous recovery thanks to the efforts of one of the best eye hospitals in India.Reincarnation of healthy vision in my existing life because of corneal transplant is one I won’t forget.

For decades my life felt meaningless and purposeless. I was handicapped for almost 30 years due to my eye problems. My left eye had white spots which worsened over a period of time and finally I was deemed blind by my left eye. For about 10 years, I have been consulting various eye doctors, eye specialist but all they did was tell me that I am growing old. Constantly during the consults I was asked as to why I felt the need to treat my left eye. All they did was give me eye drops and disappointment. My hopes shattered always. My existence seemed to fade. I had suicidal thought and this worried my kids who would constantly be around to make sure I was happy. This was saddening as I felt I was stealing their comfort, peace and happiness.
