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
A high sensitivity of the eyes to light is a condition known as photophobia. Photophobia is characterized by an increased sensitivity or intolerance to light, particularly bright or intense light. When individuals with photophobia are exposed to light, it can cause discomfort, pain, or even severe headaches. Common symptoms of photophobia include squinting, blinking, tearing up, and avoiding bright light sources.

Background
Victoria is a creative and imaginative young girl who enjoys listening to music and painting. When she grows up, she dreams of becoming a medical doctor. However, last year, she started having a problem with her eyes. Whenever she's in bright light, her eyes hurt a lot, and she gets throbbing and extremely painful headaches. Victoria went to the government hospital for help, but even after trying various eye drops, her condition didn't get better. The doctors told her that she needed special glasses called photochromatic lenses to protect her eyes from too much sunlight. Unfortunately, her mother hasn't been able to afford these glasses because they cost money.
Medical history
Victoria underwent a thorough examination which revealed that the back part of her eye, known as the fundus, was normal, showing no signs of abnormalities. She was diagnosed with myopic astigmatism, a condition where the eye's cornea or lens has an irregular shape, causing both nearsightedness and distorted vision. To correct this, she was prescribed lenses that are photochromic, meaning they automatically adjust their darkness in response to the light conditions, providing both vision correction and protection from bright light.
Prognosis
The child should be given spectacle prescription to help her in her vision. The spectacle will help her see objects straight and help reduce light sensitivity. Photochromic lenses, also known as photochromatic lenses, are a type of glasses lens that change colour depending on the amount of UV light they are exposed to. In bright sunlight, these lenses will darken to protect your eyes, but when you go inside or the UV light decreases, they'll turn back to clear, allowing you to see normally.
