Abir is only 1.8 years old. The baby was born prematurely and did not breathe, he spent 7 days in the intensive care unit on the ventilator and barely survived...
1.5 months after his birth his ophthalmologist examined him and diagnosed him with retinopathy of prematurity stage 4, retinal detachment of both eyes.
Every day was counting, the detachment was developing rapidly. During the week when we had to gather all documents and money, we managed to get to Saint-Petersburg, it was already late, in the right eye there was total ostloema and the baby lost vision in one eye.
During the latest examinations the ophthalmologist found the beginning of detachment - of the left eye, which the child could see only 5-10% of 100...
The mother said: "I sincerely ask kind people to help my son to preserve his eyesight...".
The baby is not a citizen of Russia, so the operation is possible only on a paid basis, and this is not possible for a low-income family.
Abir is a very smiling and bright boy, he likes to play with cars and watch cartoons, he tries very hard to see everything around him!
Doctors and surgeons are not giving exact guarantees and prognosis, but the surgery is a chance to save the baby's eyesight.
Let's help Abir get that chance! So that the child can see and learn about the world! ❤️
