Faisat A., 11

Faisat is an 11-year-old girl living with her parents in a two-bedroom apartment with three siblings. The mother is a petty trader, and the father is a farmer with a monthly income of less than 14,000, which is meant for them to sustain. She was well, had great vision, and could see clearly until three years ago when she developed this inability to see objects from a distance. She had been examined before now, but due to lack of funds, she was unable to commence treatment because the parents could not afford the treatment. On presentation at our facility, she was examined, investigated, and diagnosed to have Myopia associated with redness of the eye, occasional itching, and photophobia. She requires medical treatment upon Helpster's approval.

FAIST AWWAL presented eye problem said to have been having this sight issue for the past years but there was no financial support to that effect.

Patients with early onset and high myopia have a worse prognosis for long term visual acuity. These patients tend to have a higher rate of myopic progression with longer axial lengths. Patients with longer axial lengths are at a greater risk for developing myopic retinal degeneration and other associated pathology.
