Mr. Adabala Yedukondalu is a poor daily
wages worker from Tirupathipuram near Tanuku in West Godavari district.
He has been eking out his living with a single eye, having lost his left
eye from a polio attack during his childhood. He is married and has a
son and a daughter.
Trouble however began when the
right eye also developed infection. They visited a couple of nearby
hospitals where he was diagnosed to be suffering from Microbial
Keratitis (MK), a term used to describe various types of corneal
infections.
However, with help from relatives, they
pooled in the required money and made their way to LVPEI Hyderabad,
where their financial issue was promptly addressed by treating Mr
Yedukondalu under the non-paying category. A therapeutic penetrating
keratoplasty (TPK) was performed in the patient’s right eye by Dr.
Muralidhar. But owing to the nature of the problem which resulted in
repeated infection, the surgery too had to be repeated a number of
times.
Mrs Rajalakshmi however is grateful
to LVPEI where they have been coming since the year 2008 that the
surgeries were performed totally free of cost. She is full of gratitude
for Dr. Muralidhar, Nagamani and Dr. Bhupesh Bagga including the Centre
for Sight Enhancement (CSE) at the Institute which offered him and his
family a railway concession certificate so that he could continue with
his treatment.

Mrs Rajalakshmi also referred other
patients from their village to the institute who are all grateful to
her for showing them such a great hospital. Having been cured of their
own ailments, they all unanimously pray for her son to get well soon.
