10-year-old Evelyn lives in Namosain, Indonesia. 5 years ago, Evelyn started experiencing difficulties with her right eye. Despite several courses of treatment, the irritation has never cleared up and it’s become increasingly uncomfortable for Evelyn. The pain has been distracting her during school and project activities. Last year, her project workers sent her for more tests when the whole of her eyeball became acutely inflamed. Evelyn was transferred from the care of the local doctor to the Jakarta Eye Centre.
After a serious of tests, the specialist diagnosed Evelyn with a blockage between her nose and eyes. Evelyn's condition can only be corrected through an operation which is well beyond her parents' means.
