This is a story of Ritika.
If you know any organizations who can help and sponser the treatments of such cases, please let her father know about it. His address is sanu.khanal@bpc.com.np

Her name is Ritika. She is 3 years old girl and she is suffering from complicated eyesight defect. She seems normal but she can't see anything. All her eyes can follow is the sensation of light. Ritika's parents, Sanu Babu Khanal and Puspa Khanal have consulted an international expert who happen to come to Nepal for special occasions for last three years and many other doctors of Nepal but nobody could diagnose the exact defect of Ritika's eyes. Some doctors diagnosed the defect as "Congenital Nystagmus"

Ritika's case has recently been discussed with Dr. Robert Burnstine, Director of Pediatric Ophthalmology, Akron Children Hospital in northeast Ohio , USA . Dr. Robert Burstine, is one of only a few doctors who perform a procedure called Horizontal rectal Tenotomy for patients with congenital nystagmus, and he performed the first one in the world in 1999. Patients are said to travel from all over the country and beyond for this surgery. On average, patients have experienced a 20% improvement in their central Vision and a 50% improvement in their peripheral vision. Upon correspondence with the hospital administration, we came to know that the treatment casts approximately $ 7000. Unfortunately, Ritika's parents 'financial position is not sound enough to get her the treatment with that amount not of expe3nse. Her father works in a private company Butwal Power Company Limited (www.bpc.com.np) in Corporate Support Division (CSD), Her father earns only 1500 US$ per year. And the treatment with such financial background in quite impossible. Since, it is the matter of the life of a child; we should support Ritika's parents for her treatment at this time. Therefore, we are asking for your kind help. Please help them and forward this email to as many people as you can. Our contribution will be a valuable gift to her to lead a normal life.
