IPET in Action: Transforming Lives
An 11-year-old girl, whose crossed eyes since birth severely hindered her learning and led to bullying, found renewed hope at the orthoptic clinic.
Following successful treatment, her mother joyfully shared in February 2025, “She couldn’t see before and now she can! She is in English school now and can read and write!” She now excels academically, free from bullying, thanks to her restored vision.
