Corrective Eye Surgery - Before and After
We are deeply moved to share these before-and-after images from Lao Friends Hospital for Children.
These children received pediatric eye surgery to correct congenital conditions and complex abnormalities. This mission by the Eye from Zion team from Israel was the first of its kind at our hospital.
Four months on, we saw some of these children again at our hospital. Many carry themselves with a renewed self-confidence that wasn't there before. Their radiant smiles say everything. They are testaments to how profoundly their lives have changed. We’re grateful to everyone who are involved in this ongoing mission.
Six-year-old Navin used to keep to himself, quiet and shy. Now his mom says, he bounces into school full of confidence, and when asked what he wants to be when he’s older, he says with enthusiasm, ‘I want to be a doctor!’

For Phoudsady's parents, the relief is overwhelming. Their 4-year-old daughter's eyes have healed so well that the change was really transformative. They can picture her growing up without obstacles, just like any other child.
