A Great Relief after Cornea Transplant Surgery in India

Cornea Transplant Surgery - Dr. Jaiveer Singh from Fortis

Cornea transplant surgery, that sounds so risky and disturbing because with visibility there is nothing beautiful in the world around us. I too had the same feeling when I realized that I need to get my cornea replaced by a transplanted cornea due to a severe eye infection. I just cannot be much thankful and just cannot say how meaningful a Cornea Transplant in India has been to me, my life changing moment from dark to hope.

You must be wondering who am I? I am Christina from Brazil, popularly known as a woman of courage in my friend circle and my area of influence. My journey started in the year 2012 when the first time I felt as if something was hurting my left eye. That particular moment I was working in my office and due to discomfort in my eyes I took half day leave and went back home. The next day too while getting ready for office I felt that my eyes were still aching and was becoming a bit painful. For the first three four days I kept on taking pain killers and putting eye drops taken from a medical store. Then further to that a couple of days I started to experience burning sensation, blurriness, and cloudiness. This made me visit an optometrist who diagnosed dry eye to be the cause of my symptoms.

Leaving from there immediately I went to an eye specialist who further pushed me down my level of confidence by claiming that I was having an infection in my eye and my vision would worsen day by day and there are no chances of improving without going for a transplant. I was broken and was wondering what to do next and how to move forward with the corneal transplant. However, my doctor suggested few reputed eye specialists around the world. He also knew that I was not financially very strong so did advice me to connect with Indian doctors if I can affordable treatment.

With no option left, I had to go for searching a good eye specialist who can do my cornea transplant. In the meantime I was also experiencing headaches, exhaustion, and light sensitivity. I could also feel my vision declining day by day and was becoming more and more anxious and worried about the same. In this stage it was not even possible for me to browse the web the whole to get through the right search. I was connecting with different people around me for a reliable source. I was even working out web options whenever I could. Then one fine day one of my friends visited to see me and spend time with me while I was struggling with the symptoms of dry eye that made my life challenging and was taking a toll on my marriage, my profession, and my social life. She recommended me the name of India organ transplant consultants. It is pioneered with best surgeons and Top Organ Transplant Hospitals in India. She said it is a medical tourism company in India that caters to fulfill all the medical needs of individuals across the globe. With painful eyes and hurting visibility, I was really not in a condition to do a wider research so I decided to get in touch with India organ transplant consultants. As it is, my doctor also recommended me to go for Top Cornea Transplant Surgeon In India for affordable cornea transplant surgery.

I requested my friend to get me the contact number of India organ transplant consultants. I connected with them. My first conversation was smooth. The moment I called I was anxious and when the coordinator attended my call to answer my query I tried to calm down. During the conversation I was becoming more and more stress free and was then stronger to connect with the associate. I started to throw questions on him like:

• How can you help me?
• How my cornea will be transplanted?
• From where can I get the cornea?
• Who will do the surgery?

To all my questions he responded very generously and his answers were:

• We are there to help you and support you in all your medical journeys.
• We will follow a streamlined procedure for cornea transplant surgery.
• We will arrange for the transplant.
• We will give you the list of best eye surgeons out of which you can choose the way you aspire to go for.

In addition, he also added that there is Affordable Cornea Transplant Surgery in India and we provide the most competitive prices with highest level of care, comfort, and quality treatment. Then the associate requested me to share all medical reports and after the call I did the same. The next day I received a call from the same associate expressing his concern regarding my medical reports. He said that he shared the reports with three top eye surgeons in India and all the three recommended having a Cornea Transplant Surgery in India. In response I asked:

• Is it that important to have the cornea transplant?
• Can no other alternative prove beneficial?
• What if I lose my eye during the surgery?
• What are the risk factors during and after the surgery?

Once again the associate was all ready with answers to my questions. He answered:

• I have checked with the best eye specialists in India and all have a say for cornea transplant. So, that is the only thing that has to take place to help you get your vision back to normal.
• If there was an alternative to the surgery, the team would have certainly tried for the same.
• The team assures you the best of surgery giving you your vision.
• There are certain risks associated with the surgery but trust we are there with you at all stages and will work out any risk that comes forth.

The coordinator also asked me few question in response:

• You tried so many medicines till date, were you able to restore your functional vision?
• Is your vision hampering or impeding your job performance?
• Are you finding difficult to handle your daily routine due to poor eyesight?

With my current eye condition the answer to all the questions was a ‘Yes’ and then there was silence for a moment. Breaking the silence during the telephonic conversation the associate said that you have tried all non-surgical procedures and all went in vain. “Place your trust on us and we are sure to give you the best” This was the affirmation from the associate of India organ transplant consultants.

The next two-three days went on with normal course of interaction and getting deeper and deeper into the procedure.

After so many long and healthy conversations, I finally made up my mind to visit India for the cornea transplant surgery from one of the Top Cornea Transplant Surgeon In India. During the next conversation, the associate gave me the names of top eye surgeons and from those I chose Dr. Jaivir Singh Best Cornea transplant Surgeon In India from Fortis. During so many conversation and interaction with many people around me this was the name I had heard twice or thrice. The name was there at the back of my mind and when the associate also recommended the same, I straight away said a ‘Yes’ to that doctor.

I was given an appointment in March 2013, almost four to five months from the time I started to experience pain in my eyes for the first time. I then asked the coordinator I need some time to do all the arrangements for my visit to India. The associate in his soft calm voice said,” Mam, you just prepare yourself for the visit and rest of the arrangements will do for you”. And as said, that’s what the team did. They efficiently took care of all the arrangements including my medical visa to India, my stay in India, local travel, and food arrangements. The same arrangements were also done for the person who accompanied me to Cornea Transplant in India.

On the appointed date of my travel I traveled to India. Everybody there was so warm, calm, and welcoming with each knowing their respective roles and responsibilities. My husband accompanied me to India for my surgery. he drove us to the hotel. After an hour he picked us up from the hotel because an appointment was fixed with Dr. Jaivir. On meeting him it was a moment of complete relief. He is certainly a man of knowledge and wisdom but along with a man down to earth with all the value and virtues deeply engraved. He explained me and my husband the complete procedure that was to be done. We kept on throwing so many questions on him but with all the time and patience he was answering all our queries and doubts to keep us calm and stress-free. That was the moment I realized I was in good hands.

After the doctor’s consultation, few tests were conducted for further confirmation. The same day evening reports were shared with me and a time was fixed for the surgery the very next day. All through the process I was more worried about the transplanted cornea. In anxiousness, sitting in the lounge area of the hospital, I called the coordinator who was dealing with me starting from my first conversation. I asked him what about the transplant? Has that been arranged? My coordinator was just about to answer my query, another coordinator who was handling my case in the local city approached me. He heard my query and softly said, “Mam you do not worry we have already arranged a Cornea Transplant for you. We have also checked the cornea for clarity and screened it deeply with all parameters to ensure that it is free of all diseases and is a perfect fit for your eye”. He also added, “We only accept those corneas that meet stringent medical guidelines considering high level of safety of the graft recipient.” Me and my husband were completely relaxed then.

We went back to the hotel and came the next day for the surgery. Nurses there prepared me for the surgery and took me to the operation theatre. There entered Dr. Jaivir Top Cornea Transplant Surgeon In India, and he started with the process. I was administered with general anesthesia and was asleep during the procedure. I don’t remember what had happened after that but all I remember that I was out of the effect of anesthesia, my husband was there in front of me. The surgery was successfully completed in safe hands. My husband was appreciating the doctor very much and was very thankful to him. While I was under the effect of anesthesia after the surgery, my husband has a huge discussion with Dr. Jaivir and that was truly praiseworthy. My husband said that the doctor was a master purely precise and accurate with his medical calculations.

Though there was slight discomfort in my eyes, there was no pain just a little bit that has to be there. I was kept in the hospital for a couple of days. During that period I had received lot of care and concern from all the nurses and care takers. Even the doctors on round were very friendly and supportive.

The day I was discharged, I was given all the guidelines and post surgery medications that had to be strictly followed. They also shared a 24/7 contact number where I was supposed to connect with them in case of any concern or issue with my eye. The doctor also shared his personal number in case of any emergency. With so much knowledge, confidence, and reassurance, my experience with Dr. Jaivir and of course with India organ transplant consultants was an experience to be etched forever on my eyes, an organ that makes the world so beautiful. The gift of hope the gift of love, I received from India Organ Transplant Consultants was the most memorable and thankful gift of my life.

After the surgery as well, I stayed in India with my husband for a couple of weeks to ensure that everything was falling in place. This was also doctor’s suggestion to keep my operated eye away from dust for a few weeks. Later I was advised to return back to my home town Brazil. I and my husband went back happily.After returning to Brazil, I consulted my local eye specialist for the first suggested me to go for Cornea Transplant In India. My doctor was amazed to see how successfully the transplant was done. It was all done so amazingly that my doctor was surprised too. Now, he said that it will take me another couple of months to restore my normal eye function.

Further to that, I have been following the guidelines and prescription given to me by Dr. Jaivir Singh Best Cornea transplant Surgeon In India. I was strictly adhering to all guidelines and gradually I could my vision improving, I could feel relief in my eyes, I could see everything going back to normal. I am still undergoing telephonic and email follow-up conversations with India organ transplant consultants.

Now, it’s about six months from then and I just can’t thank India organ transplant consultants enough for all the help, support, and guidance they have been providing all through. More than that, my sincere thanks to all the team members including the doctor and nurses who helped me restore my declining vision. Today again I can say, “Life is so beautiful and colorful”.
