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
Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in the left eye. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction, or blocked tear duct, is a condition where the drainage system for tears becomes blocked. In this case, the obstruction is in the left eye, which prevents tears from draining properly into the nose. This blockage can lead to an accumulation of tears on the eye surface, causing persistent watering, stickiness, and a higher risk of infection due to the stagnant fluid. While it often resolves on its own, especially in infants, persistent blockage can cause discomfort and require medical attention to prevent further complications.

Background
Eleven-year-old Liza Akter, a kind-hearted girl with a dream of becoming a teacher, sees her future clouded by a diagnosis of Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in her left eye. Her father, Mohsin Prodhan, a farmer whose monthly income of ৳8,000 barely sustains the family, is heartbroken as he and his wife, Rina Begum, realize they cannot afford the crucial ৳40,500 DCR surgery. With her siblings, Riya and Riyad, also facing financial barriers to their own education, the family’s meager resources are stretched to their limit, making the thought of this life-changing procedure seem like an impossible dream. Without urgent intervention, Liza's vision will continue to worsen, threatening not only her studies but also the joyful spirit she holds onto despite her family's struggles, potentially dimming the bright future she longs for.
Medical history
Liza Akter, a 11-year-old baby girl, was suffering from constant watering and irritation in her left eye due to a blocked tear duct, which required Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery. The treatment was necessary to relieve her discomfort, prevent infection, and restore normal tear drainage. Under the skilled care of Dr. Md. Rashedur Rahman Talukder, Senior Consultant of the Hospital, the surgery was performed successfully under anesthesia. The procedure went smoothly without any complications, and Liza’s recovery has been excellent. After surgery, her eye watering stopped completely, and she now feels much more comfortable. Her visual acuity has improved, and she can see clearly and interact happily with her surroundings. Liza’s parents are relieved and grateful to see their little girl free from discomfort and pain. Heartfelt thanks to Helpster Charity and the Helpster Heroes for their incredible support in helping her regain healthy vision and comfort.
Prognosis
According to Dr. Md. Anwar Hossain, Chief Consultant, and Dr. Rashedur Rahman Talukder, Senior Consultant of Mazharul Haque BNSB Eye Hospital, Chandpur, Liza requires immediate DCR surgery under medical supervision. The doctors have assured that with timely surgery and proper follow-up care, Liza will regain normal vision and will be able to continue her studies without difficulty. However, if she is left untreated, the recurrent infection and blocked tear duct will cause permanent vision damage in her left eye, affecting her education, confidence, and daily life. With your generous support, this young girl can be given back the gift of sight and the opportunity to fulfill her dreams.
