Aman described her search for a solution, mentioning that previous treatments had been unsuccessful. However, this year, an ophthalmologist offered a glimmer of hope with the possibility of surgery to lift her eyelid and restore her field of vision. After careful consideration and tests, she decided to undergo the procedure.

On the day of the surgery, Aman candidly expressed her fear and anxiety, but she found strength and reassurance from her loved ones. The surgery proved successful, and she emerged from the operating room with an eye patch, ready for her recovery journey.

Aman concluded her post by expressing gratitude to her family, the exceptional staff at Hinduja Hospital, and Dr. Savari Desai for their support and care throughout her journey.
