Mr. Edgardo is an Angola resident who has suffered vision problems for the past 5 years. The disease progressed rapidly, and he lost about 60% of his vision in the last couple of years. To regain his normal eyesight, he searched online for the best ophthalmologists. That's when he found us. Upon raising a query on our website, a case manager was soon assigned to assist him.

On our advice, the patient decided to come to India for the treatment. He met with Dr. Suraj Munjal, a renowned Ophthalmologist and Eye Surgeon with over 18 years of experience. On examining the reports and condition of the patient's eyes, the doctor recommended a cornea transplant surgery for both eyes. The surgery was successfully performed at the Sight Avenue Hospital, New Delhi.

The surgery resulted in restoring the sight of Edgardo. He has received more than 90% of his vision back. He traveled alone to India and stayed here for about one month. All his needs were taken care of by our team. He never felt he was alone and away from his home. He thanked us for providing him with a comfortable and hassle-free medical tourism experience.

We are delighted that now he can clearly see the beautiful world with his eyes.
