Katya sees, thanks to you!

When Katya Shirobokova was born, doctors said she could see nothing - only light and penumbra. After two surgeries, the girl's right eye learned to distinguish all objects within a meter radius, and her left eye captures as much as three meters! Convergent strabismus was corrected from a frightening 80 percent to 20 percent. And if Katya wears glasses, even these twenty percent become almost imperceptible. Now all that is left is to turn this "almost" into "not at all. A third, decisive surgery is needed. Children like Katya are called "rushed babies": premature, born extremely early with a long list of diagnoses. Among them is retinopathy in newborns. The visual organ, a delicate and complex crystal organ, the most important one for our contact with life, had not fully formed by the 25 weeks of Katya's mother's pregnancy. And it has to "grow" it after birth. Once Katya's world stretched into a flat picture and ... double. One eye saw two brothers, and the other eye saw two brothers, too. Doctors diagnosed the girl with increasing strabismus and amblyopia: the so-called "lazy eye" - a condition in which vision atrophies. After the first operation, Katusha no longer stumbled over furniture or corners. After the second surgery, she loved puzzles and began to distinguish colors, and her pupils no longer converged at the bridge of her nose. Parents even sent their daughter to kindergarten and are happy that Katya is in no way inferior to her peers: she almost learned to pronounce hissing sounds, fights with the speech pathologist for the "p" and "l" sounds, loves puzzles and books. Except that she is the smallest in the group in terms of height. And she is the last of the children to see her mother when she comes to pick her up in the evening. After all, beyond three meters, Katina's world ceases to be a blurry silhouette. To fix this, she needs another surgery. Then a meter on the right will turn into two, and Katya will be able to see her mother on the left when she just walks into the kindergarten yard. She will fearlessly run towards her without tripping once!
