Nizam Uddin is a 10 years old boy, living in Jhagrar Char village in Bhairob Upazilla of Kishorganj district. He was born with bilateral cataract in his eyes. His parents came to know about the problem when he was around 1/2 years old. But they did not know about the cataract and its treatment. They thought it’s a simple white pupil and will disappear as he grows up. But their assumption proved wrong. As he was growing up, his eye sight became less and less. He could not see the black board in the school and could not read his book well. His father Azim Uddin became tense about his son. At that time he came to know from the village school teacher (one of the trained Key Informants, CSF uses to train the local community members to identify blind children) that Child Sight Foundation is going to organize an Eye Screening Camp in the Bhairob Upazilla Health Complex. He took his son there and the Doctor examined Nizam’s eyes. The doctor referred him to the Islamia Eye Hospital (a partner hospital of CSF). In 2002 Nizam’s sight restoring operation was undertaken in Islamia eye hospital free of cost. Since then 3 years has passed and he can see very well and goes to school regularly. His parents are very happy for the changes in their son’s life.
