Farmer Laxmi Barsat in Nashik
1. Laxmi Bharsat is a farmer who lives with her son & daughter-in-law.
They also rear poultry & goats managing to make ends meet.
2. Laxmi started developing blurry vision in both her eyes. This
hampered her work in the fields & around the house. She moved
by detecting light & shadow & feeling her way around.
3. Laxmi couldn't support her family in their chores at home or work
outside the house. Her vision deteriorated progressively. Laxmi's
neighbours then informed her about a MFV supported eye camp
nearby, which she attended.
4. Laxmi had cataracts in both eyes which were removed at Tulsi
Chanrai Eye Hospital, a MFV partner. Soon, she was back to work
as usual & her independent life. Laxmi is very happy & thankful
to have her sight restored.
