Tursinai was born in the city of Chirchik in Uzbekistan 3 months ahead of schedule and weighed 1200 grams at the time of birth.
When the baby was discharged from the hospital a month later, doctors were alerted by the condition of her eyes. Mom was recommended to show her daughter to an ophthalmologist. He confirmed retinopathy of prematurity - a dangerous diagnosis in children born prematurely. This disease, if not treated in time, quickly leads to blindness.
In Uzbekistan, they cannot yet help children with retinopathy of prematurity. But such children have a chance to preserve their eyesight. Ophthalmologists at the St. Petersburg Children's Hospital can perform Tursinai surgery, which will restore her ability to see!
But for all CIS citizens, treatment in Russia is paid. And for the Tursinai family, where two more older children are growing up, and only one dad works, this is now an unattainable dream. But together we can make it a reality! We will help Tursinai, while the disease is not yet completely started, get into surgery and save her eyesight!
