Keratoconus is an eye condition where the cornea—the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye—thins and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape. This deformation causes blurred vision and can increase sensitivity to light and glare.

Mansoor Waris, a 35-year-old man from Oman, had been struggling with blurred vision and sensitivity to glare for several years. As time passed, his vision continued to deteriorate, causing significant distress and impacting his daily life. Determined to find a cost-effective solution to his worsening condition, Waris began searching for options and came across our Indian Health Guru website.

Upon reaching out, Waris was connected with one of our dedicated case managers. The case manager reviewed Waris's situation and linked him with a top ophthalmologist specializing in keratoconus. After carefully examining Waris's medical reports and eye scans, the ophthalmologist recommended a corneal transplant as the most viable solution, given the rapid deterioration of Waris's vision. Hearing a similar opinion from a surgeon in his home country reinforced the urgency of the situation for Waris.

Confident in the expertise of the Indian medical team, Waris decided to travel to India for the corneal transplant. The case manager facilitated the entire process, assisting with all necessary paperwork and arrangements. Waris was accompanied by his brother, and once they arrived in India, they were warmly received and escorted to the Artemis Hospital Gurgaon.

At the hospital, Waris underwent a fresh set of eye screenings and tests to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information for the transplant procedure. A date for the surgery was promptly set. On the day of the transplant, Waris felt a mix of hope and anxiety. However, the supportive and compassionate medical staff quickly put him at ease by clearly explaining the procedure, which alleviated his fears and gave him the strength to proceed.

The corneal transplant went smoothly, with the Dr. Sameer Kaushal successfully replacing a part of Waris's cornea with healthy donor tissue. Waris remained under close observation during the initial recovery period, receiving exceptional care from the hospital staff. Their dedication and attentiveness played a crucial role in his healing process.

After a reasonable period of rest and recovery, Waris noticed a gradual improvement in his vision. The once blurred and hazy world around him began to clear up, filling him with immense joy and relief. Waris and his brother prepared to return to Yemen, his vision significantly restored and his outlook on life greatly improved.
