Sanukancha Syangtan, a resident of Bhalukharka, Indrasarobar Rural Municipality-2, had been unable to walk for two years. After cataracts covered both eyes, his 15-year-old granddaughter had been helping him get inside and outside the house.
81-year-old Syangtan is in shock after undergoing surgery on both his eyes at a free eye camp.
He had come to the eye camp in Indrasarobar Rural Municipality three days ago with the help of his granddaughter. After being called for the surgery, he attended the camp organized in Khanikhet, Kulekhani on Saturday.
67 cataract patients, including Sanukancha, were found in the free eye camp, which was jointly organized by Rotary Club Hetauda, Community Eye Hospital Hetauda and Indrasarobar Rural Municipality for five days.
350 people underwent eye tests at the eye camp held at five locations. 59 people, including Sanukancha, who had difficulty walking due to cataracts covering both eyes, underwent surgery. A team of health workers including ophthalmologist Dr. Sunil Thakali of the Community Eye Hospital performed the cataract surgery on the cataract patients.
Sudhir Shrestha, administrative officer of the Community Eye Hospital, Hetauda, said that the bandages of patients who were bandaged after surgery will be removed on Sunday.
