Fatama endured years of pain, dizziness, and vision loss, ignoring symptoms until they became unbearable. Diagnosed with cataracts, she received surgery thanks to Eyes of the world. Today, she has regained sight in one eye—along with her autonomy, joy, and will to live. Her life has changed completely.

Two years ago, Fatama's life began to darken. Her vision gradually became blurry, accompanied by intense headaches and dizziness that seemed endless. At first, she tried to ignore it, holding onto the hope that everything would improve over time. But the pain became unbearable, and the loss of vision prevented her from moving forward.

It was then that she decided to seek help. At the ophthalmology center of Bachir Saleh Hospital, they conducted several tests and discovered the cause of her suffering: cataracts. The only solution was surgery in Bechar.

Thanks to the support of the Eyes of the world foundation, Fatama was able to undergo surgery. One of her eyes healed completely, restoring her vision. In the other, glaucoma prevents her from seeing with total clarity, but still, her world has changed.

Fatama was able to see the faces of her loved ones again, the blue sky, and the landscapes she thought she had lost. She regained her independence and, with it, the joy of living.
