Fridah Wanyonyi is an 81-year-old woman who lived with vision problems for two years. Initially, she experienced itchiness and watery eyes but eventually her right eye lost vision completely, while her left eye could only see blurry objects. Fridah was taken to a community outreach clinic run by Dreamland Mission Hospital, escorted by her grandchild. After an examination by a clinician, she was referred to the hospital for cataract removal surgery.
At the hospital, an ophthalmologist examined Fridah’s eyes and recommended operating on her right eye first, as it had severe vision loss. The surgery took place and Fridah’s right eye now has significantly improved vision. Upon returning to the outreach clinic, Fridah eagerly shared her testimony, expressing her newfound independence and joy at being able to attend the clinic by herself, something she hadn’t been able to do for two years.
Fridah also informed other patients at the clinic that she had referred four individuals to the hospital for eye surgeries. She highly recommended the hospital, praising the friendly staff who genuinely cared for her. And she expressed her gratitude for the outreach clinics, as they played a crucial role in connecting her with the hospital, and encouraged others in the community to seek help there.
