Thirteen-year-old Prebheksya sat in her classroom in rural Nepal, struggling to read the blackboard, her textbooks, and even see the faces of her friends. She never spoke up. She didn’t know her vision was different—she just thought everyone saw the world in a blur.
Grade 7 slipped by in a haze. Despite her best efforts, her marks suffered. However, Prebheksya was determined to do better, vowing to study harder the following year, never realizing that what she needed wasn’t more effort—it was eye care.
Then a Seva-sponsored school screening run by the local Community Eye Centre changed everything. Prebheksya had her vision tested for the very first time. The problem was clear: she needed prescription glasses.
When she returned home with the news, her parents were shocked-they believed children were too young to suffer from vision problems. They had no idea their bright daughter had been navigating a world that was out of focus.
Today, Prebheksya is thriving in Grade 10. She wears her glasses every day, and her grades—and confidence—are rising.
Her parents now understand how life-changing a simple eye exam can be: “We are truly thankful to Bijuwar Community Eye Centre and Seva for helping our daughter see clearly and succeed in her studies. Thank you!”
Thanks to the power of sight and donors like you, Prebheksya is back on the path to achieving her dreams.
