Little Arthur, born at 29 weeks of pregnancy, faced a serious diagnosis – retinopathy of prematurity.
The necessary manipulations were carried out, but unfortunately, from an early age, Arthur developed convergent alternating strabismus.
This is a condition where the eyes look inwards, creating double vision, and amblyopia (‘lazy eye’) can develop - a problem where the vision of one eye is depressed and the brain cannot utilise this information. Alas, this can lead to permanent vision loss if treatment is not started.
Arthur needs to undergo staged chemodenervation surgery. This method can correct the angle of strabismus and improve vision. The earlier the treatment of strabismus is started, the better the chances of complete correction of the situation and the development of normal vision. Delay can lead to an irreversible decrease in visual acuity.
Unfortunately, at the moment chemodenervation operations are not covered by the OMC. Arthur's family is unable to pay for this operation and they have asked us for help.
We really need your support so that Arthur can get the necessary treatment and restore his sight. Let's help this boy!
