“I think I could work a little, if I could
see again.”
- Replied Man Bir
“अब आँखाले देख्यो भने त क्यारे काम नन अनल
अनल गनन सनकन्छ जस्तो लाग्छ।”
- मन बीर भनु्न हुन्छ
Our team from Anthropose headed out for our
second cataract surgery camp on the 20th of
December. This year, the camp was held at the
District Eye Community Center in Dhading
Besi, Nepal.
After a four-hour long ride from Kathmandu,
we finally reached our destination.
The following day was an important day for
many of us. It was the first day of our Cataract
Surgery Camp.
Early next morning, people queued up at the
registration kiosk, waiting. As the camp
progressed, an elderly gentleman caught our
attention. He was sitting on a bench, holding
on to his makeshift walking cane; all the while
his eyes wondered around.
“Man Bir Gurung”, the doctor's assistant called
out and a man seated next to the elderly man
replied, "Yes, he is my father."
Get. Give. Change.
It was his turn to head in for his vision test.
While his son assisted him to the test center,
we tagged along to help.
Kartik 18, 2074, he recalled and said that it was
the day when he lost both of his eyesight due
to cataract. He further added,
“Life has been only about darkness since
then. I no longer know how my house looks
like now.”
He dreams of working on the fields and
watching his great grandchildren laugh; he told
us.
While our conversation lasted, we had finished
testing his vision, established his cataracts
could be removed and were in the anesthetic
room.
Scared, rubbing his hands together he laid
down on the bed upon the doctor's instruction.
The doctor then consoled Man Bir while
anesthetizing the eye. Observing an eye being
punctured by an injection is a tough sight, let
alone being the one being anesthetized. We
were hoping that the pain would be worthwhile
later on for Man Bir. Once done, he was ready
to head on to the operating room.
Get. Give. Change.
As he waited for his turn, we could see his
body shiver and him mumble to himself. At
that moment, we could sense his fear. We were
equally nervous for Man Bir, for this was a
defining moment of his future.
15 minutes passed and the surgery came to an
end. “We have successfully removed cataract
from his eyes”, the doctor revealed and we
welcomed him out of the operating room with
a big smile. However, the success of the
operation depended on whether he would be
able to see the next morning.
It was the next morning and it was Man Bir’s
day; a new day awaited. In the crowd, there
was Man Bir, repeatedly trying to peek from
underneath the covering. His excitement for
his new- found eye-sight showed. We were
elated.
“What do you see right now?” we inquired.
Blinking his eyes, he said, “I see brightness.
There is no longer darkness in my life.”
It is hard to describe the feeling upon seeing
him respond to us then. What is for sure is that
the brightest of it all was the smile that Man
Bir had when he did.
Get. Give. Change.
That day, we restored sight
of 143 people, each with a
story not so different than
Man Bir’s.
We would like to end this
note by bringing to your
attention that a lot more is
yet to be done. This is just
the beginning.
Thank you all who have
been with us throughout our
journey.
Team Anthropose.
Get. Give. Change.
