Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About eyes
Cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye, which causes blurry vision and can make it difficult to see clearly. If not treated, cataracts can lead to complete blindness, making it impossible for a person to see anything. This can severely affect daily life, independence, and quality of life, and in some cases, blindness may become permanent if not treated in time. In Muzahid’s case, Congenital Cataract combined with partial squint poses a significant risk to his visual development. If left untreated, he may develop permanent vision impairment or even blindness. Squint, also known as strabismus, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly and point in different directions. One eye may look straight ahead while the other turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. This misalignment can cause difficulty in focusing, double vision, and can affect depth perception. If left untreated, squint can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) and long-term vision problems.

Background
Md Muzahid is a lively and cheerful 6-year-old boy from a small village, whose dreams of becoming a footballer are fading as his vision worsens due to Congenital Cataract and squint. His father, Anowar Hossain, works tirelessly as a rented rickshaw puller earning just BDT 5,000 a month, but their limited income barely covers their basic needs in their fragile tin house. Muzahid’s bright eyes now struggle to recognize faces and play with friends, and without urgent surgery costing BDT 90,000, he risks losing his sight forever—his world turning dark just when he’s about to discover its colors. His family’s hope is fading along with his vision, and they desperately turn to Helpster Charity for help to save his future and keep his dreams alive.
Medical history
Md Muzahid, a 6-year-old boy, required cataract surgery in his right eye as the condition had significantly reduced his vision. He underwent the procedure with intraocular lens implantation under general anesthesia, performed by Dr. Taslima Akter Tania, Consultant of the Hospital. The surgery was successful, and his visual acuity has improved remarkably. Muzahid can now see clearly with his operated eye, giving him a brighter and healthier future. Special thanks to Helpster Charity and the Helpster Heroes for their kind support in restoring his vision.
Prognosis
According to Dr. Md. Anwar Hossain, Chief Consultant, and Dr. Rashedur Rahman Talukder, Senior Consultant at Mazharul Haque BNSB Eye Hospital, Chandpur, immediate surgical intervention can fully restore vision in both of Muzahid’s eyes, provided the cataracts are removed on time and replaced with intraocular lenses. The doctors have given a hopeful prognosis, emphasizing that with the right treatment, Muzahid can return to normal vision, correct the squint with glasses, and enjoy a full and healthy childhood. He will be able to start school, interact with others confidently, and chase his dreams—just like any other child. However, if this surgery is delayed, the damage may become irreversible, leading to lifelong blindness, emotional distress, and total dependence on others.
