Srinagar boy regains vision after groundbreaking cataract surgery at Dr Agarwals eye-hospital

Srinagar, May 28: In a remarkable medical achievement, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospital, Qamarwari, Srinagar, has successfully restored the sight of a six-year-old boy suffering from congenital cataracts in both eyes.
The complex surgery was performed by Dr Shazia Shafi, Senior Cataract and Glaucoma Surgeon, who operated on both eyes in a single sitting — a rare and delicate procedure, particularly in paediatric cases. Speaking about the success of the operation, Dr Shazia credited the outcome to the use of the latest surgical technology and the hospital’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, both of which played a pivotal role in ensuring precision and patient safety. “This case was particularly challenging due to the patient’s age and the bilateral nature of the cataracts,” said Dr Shazia. “However, with advanced equipment and a skilled clinical team, we were able to achieve an excellent result.”
Dr Atif Ali Mir, Medical Director at the hospital, praised the surgical team’s efforts and extended his congratulations. “This successful surgery is not only a medical milestone but also a testament to the trust patients place in our clinical capabilities,” he said. The hospital continues to serve as a leading centre for advanced ophthalmic care in the region, providing hope and high-quality treatment to patients of all ages.
