A 52-year-old woman from Mumbai, who had been struggling with poor vision due to high myopia and cataracts, has regained her eyesight and confidence after undergoing advanced cataract surgery.
Surajita Swain, a homemaker from Mumbai, lived with a very high number for many years that kept increasing, making her dependent on heavy spectacles. When cataracts developed, her vision worsened drastically, affecting her work, social interactions, and daily comfort. Even basic activities like reading, cooking, and recognizing faces became difficult. Assuming that once again her number has increased, she decided to meet an ophthalmologist this time instead of her routine specs person and visited Apollo Spectra Hospital in search of some relief from her discomfort.
The surgery was performed by Dr Nusrat Bhukhari and the team at hospital in Mumbai on the elderly woman once dependent on thick glasses for even the simplest tasks, is now living a spectacle-free life.
