Samia was born 13 weeks premature. She was nursed for a long time in intensive care, then in the neonatal pathology department. During this time, Samia developed retinopathy of prematurity, a dangerous eye disease that causes retinal detachment and threatens with blindness.
But the baby was diagnosed correctly only at the age of 2 months - when the disease had already reached its final stage. In this case, only a surgical operation on the eyes in Russia can help. In his native Uzbekistan, such treatment is not yet carried out.
Doctors performed a series of surgeries on Samia - by the age of one and a half, the girl had already undergone them 6 times. And if at first there was no hope for the retina to fit, it was only about preserving the eyes as an organ, the extreme operation showed a noticeable positive trend!
More than 9 months have passed since the last operation in June 2022, and now Samia needs to go to St. Petersburg again. Here she must undergo another operation in order to create conditions for the growth of the eyeball and further straighten the retinal tissue (retina). This means that Samia will see at least a little!
