Treating Those Too Poor To Travel For Treatment | Tej Kohli Foundation
Rama has a wife and two children. He worked as a labourer earning US $1.50 per hour, but for two years his poor vision left him unable to work and his wife had to work to support their family. Rama was bullied because of his poor eyesight, which was caused by a degeneration of his corneas. He was given a free procedure by the Tej Kohli Cornea Institute at LV Prasad and his vision immediately improved. Rama was unable to afford to travel to the Tej Kohli Cornea Institute in Hyderabad, so like many patients he was treated at a secondary centre. Rama now hopes to return to working again.
