The aftermath of all this left me with my right eye clinically blind, and the other almost blind , with no tears , corneal defect and with an ulcer right at the center of the left .
On meeting Zahra Rashid at Muthaiga Eye clinic , she expressed optimism and assured me of her commitment to do her best to help me regain a working eyesight.
She immediately started managing the ulcer by using a soft lens. In collaboration with Dr Gichuhi , our Ophthalmologist, she contained the ulcer .
She then introduced me to Scleral lenses which improved my eyesight . This allowed me to recover my ability to read and work. I resumed working as we set up regular check ups to track and take corrective steps on issues emerging. Her Team has ensured timely reminders on our appointments and follow ups on outstanding orders for medical/optical supplies.
Almost six years, I have substantially recovered and managing the visual impairment well. This has allowed me to not only recover in my job but to grow career wise.
Besides I have come across other beneficiaries of her special work cutting across our communities .
