Memory Chonaga received ORBIS’s 200,000th child surgery. Clouding of her eyes meant she could hardly see, and that she withdrew from normal life. After surgery, with a smile on her face, she spent as much time as possible reading whatever she could, a pleasure lost as her sight faded.

Before the operation Memory’s condition, which developed overtime, caused severe clouding of her eyes and almost total loss of her sight. It caused her depression and to withdraw from normal life. But now Memory’s outlook is totally changed. Her vision is now good and she spends as much time as possible reading whatever she can lay her hands on, a pleasure that has recently been denied to her because of her gradual sight lost. When asked what she thought of her ‘new eyes’ she exclaimed: “Praises, praises, thank you, praises, thank you.”
