Ophthalmologists in the Jazan region were able to perform an urgent surgical intervention on a child who was reconsidered, thanks to God, in an operation that took an hour and a half, and, praise be to God, was successful.
The Health Ministry in Jizan said that the medical team in ophthalmology at Prince Muhammad bin Nasser Hospital in Jazan was able to restore the pupil of a 3-year-old girl, who attended the Pediatric Eye and Strabismus Clinic after suffering from severe vision impairment, and after conducting a medical examination, it was found that there was an almost total closure. In the pupils, lack of response to dilatation with drops completely in the left eye and partially in the right eye, and the presence of a cloudy white water in the right eye.
The medical team treating the case confirmed that it was decided to perform surgery in the right and left eyes, during which the pupils were dilated with mechanical dilators, cataract suctioning, cleaning the vitreous sac, implanting a lens, and restoring the pupil to prevent its contraction and return to its previous position.
He added: “After the surgery, the vision improved and the child returned to her normal life well, praise be to God, as she was able to see normally without the need for any assistance that the child depended on in the past.”
It is noteworthy that Prince Muhammad bin Nasser Hospital in Jazan performed 1096 eye surgeries during the first half of this year 2023, including 988 one-day eye surgeries.
