Kota, Feb 28 A 67-year-old woman, who had lost her sight after cataract surgery, regained her vision after a pupilloplasty procedure in Kota, officials said on Saturday.
The 20-minute surgery was conducted at a private hospital in Kota on Wednesday by Dr. Arnav Singh Saroya and Dr. JS Saroya with their team, they said.
Claiming it to be the first-ever pupilloplasty surgery in central India, the doctors said that the woman's vision improved from "mere perception of light" to "6/24" and she was able to "identify colours".
Pupilloplasty is a micro-surgical eye procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the pupil to correct defects, reduce glare and improve visual acuity.
The patient, Motiya Bai, a resident of the Bundi district, had lost her sight after undergoing a cataract surgery on her right eye over two years ago, Dr. Arnav told
