Before removal of foreign body & Happy after removal of foreign body  

Student Rashid Juma (Nanyumbu Primary School Student, Grade 6)

 

 

 

I was feeling there is something in my right eye for almost 3 weeks but I didn’t know what it was and what I should do. When my eyes painful, my parents told me to wash them clean, and I washed them but there was no improvement at all. The discomfort in my eyes was quite painful to me and I was rubbing my right eye until it turned red. One day, eye doctor visited to my school and I and my classmates were tested eyes. I explained my eye condition to the doctor and he examined my eyes with torch and removed something from my right eye. It took only a minute but my feeling was much better. I am very happy because I can study well and paly with my friend without any pain in my eyes.
