Isaka Diallo's eye injury highlights Burkina Faso's urgent need for pediatric eye care. With few specialists and limited resources, rural families face significant challenges, underscoring the need for immediate intervention and support.

Burkina Faso's Visionary Challenge

Highlighting Isaka Diallo's case from Burkina Faso, this narrative reveals the critical shortage of pediatric ophthalmologists in the nation, spotlighting the significant challenges faced by rural families seeking urgent and affordable eye care.

Burkina Faso’s only eye doctor for children sees the trauma of both play and conflict

Burkina Faso's limited access to eye care for children is highlighted by Isaka Diallo's case, exposing the need for urgent specialist attention and resources, mainly in rural areas where the majority live. Economic and logistical challenges compound the issue.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso), July 10 (AP) &mdash; Isaka Diallo's childhood play took an unfortunate turn when a stone hit his left eye, prompting his parents to embark on a two-week quest across western Burkina Faso in search of an eye specialist. While local clinics only offered painkillers, other health workers were unsure how to treat such an injury.
When finally meeting Dr. Claudette Yameogo, the country's sole pediatric ophthalmologist, Diallo's condition had worsened. "The trauma has become severe," remarked Yameogo, examining the boy at Sanou Sourou University Hospital in Bobo-Dioulasso. "Cases like Diallo's need attention within six hours, but I'm seeing him two weeks later&mdash;it's too late."
This predicament reflects a broader issue in Burkina Faso, a nation of about 23 million with only 70 ophthalmologists. Since starting her practice late last year, Yameogo has found the work challenging, often traveling at her expense to families who can't reach her hospital.
Globally, around 450 million children have eyesight problems needing treatment, reports the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. Late intervention can severely impact a child's future, especially in developing nations.
An estimated 70% of Burkina Faso's populace resides in rural areas where ophthalmologists are scarce, mostly concentrated in Ouagadougou and other major cities. In 2024, over 2,000 ophthalmology procedures occurred in the country's western Hauts-Bassins region, but only 52 occurred in rural areas, per the Ministry of Health. The majority happened in Bobo-Dioulasso, the second-largest city.
Despite her impact, Yameogo's work is relatively unknown. Even if recognized, reaching her often requires time and financial planning.
Diallo&rsquo;s family, among the 2 million displaced by violence as extremist groups advance, journeyed 40 kilometers by motorcycle from their temporary village shelter to Bobo-Dioulasso, spending 7,500 francs (USD 13)&mdash;a significant sum for small-scale farmers.
Yameogo noted that 70% of children's trauma cases at the hospital come from rural areas, where exposure risks&mdash;due to conflict or play&mdash;are higher. Examining and treating children involves significant time investment, which many families can't afford as they need to return home to earn the necessary treatment funds.
During Diallo's examination, a drawing recognition test raised the question: was the burden of misidentifying an apple with a pepper due to vision or unfamiliarity with the unfamiliar fruit? "Examinations require patience," Yameogo explained.
Commenting on Yameogo's contributions, Jean Diallo, president of the Burkinabe Society of Ophthalmology, highlighted the importance of specialist intervention for children's eye health, emphasizing the need for early treatment.
Retinoblastoma and congenital cataracts, for example, can be managed if diagnosed early&mdash;an area where general pediatricians may fall short.
At a subsequent consultation, 5-year-old Fatao Traore was diagnosed with a serious corneal injury from a stick while playing, necessitating surgery. Observing the overwhelmed father, Yameogo noted, "Sometimes I feel a pinch in my heart." While Burkina Faso's government ostensibly covers children&rsquo;s medical costs, logistical challenges often require families to purchase unavailable drugs themselves.
The cost of Traore's required surgery stands at 100,000 CFA (USD 179), equivalent to several months' income for the family. (AP) SKS GRS GRS

Dharmendra recently had eye graft surgery and assured fans of his strength. He was last seen in 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' and is set to star in 'Ikkis'.

Veteran actor Dharmendra recently underwent eye graft surgery and was spotted in Mumbai sporting a bandage over one eye. He made a public appearance on Tuesday as he left the hospital, dressed casually in a printed shirt, black pants, and a black hat. &nbsp;
In a video shared on Instagram, the seasoned actor paused to speak with the paparazzi.
Exuding his characteristic resilience, Dharmendra assured his fans, "I am strong. Abhi bhi Dharmendra mein bahut dum hai. Abhi bhi jaan rakhta hoon. Meri aankh, eye graft (corneal transplantation) ho gayi hai.
I am strong." His message was clear: despite the surgery, his spirit remains undiminished.
Expressing heartfelt appreciation for his supporters, Dharmendra remarked, "Love you, my audience and my fans."
Just last month, Dharmendra attended the screening of "Loveyapa" in Mumbai, a film starring Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan. The event was marked by a touching moment as veteran actress Rekha greeted Dharmendra by touching his feet, a gesture of respect.
They have shared the silver screen in several classics, such as "Ram Balram," "Kahani Kismat Ki," "Ghazab," "Keemat," and "Kasam Suhaag Ki."
On the professional front, Dharmendra's last appearance was in "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya," which featured Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in lead roles.
The film was well-received, and the cast included notable names like Dimple Kapadia, Rakesh Bedi, Anubha Fatehpuria, Rajesh Kumar, Grusha Kapoor, and Ashish Verma.
Looking ahead, Dharmendra will star in Sriram Raghavan's "Ikkis," a much-anticipated war drama.
The film explores the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, a young soldier posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his bravery. Alongside Dharmendra, the cast includes Jaideep Ahlawat and Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan, in pivotal roles.

Eye health: Add these 5 superfoods for better eyesight and prevent age related eye problems

Eye health is an important aspect of overall body health and there are some dietary habits that you can inculcate in your lifestyle to ensure that your eyes remain healthy and safe from chronic eye conditions.

Our eyes are the most priced possessions and we must do everything to care for them. In this era of technology our eyes are badly tired and strained due to the harmful rays from our phones, laptops etc.&nbsp;
Taking daily care of the eyes is important by using proper anti glare glasses or seeing an expert regularly for check ups. However, some dietary habits can also be inculcated in our lifestyle to ensure better health eyes and to prevent them from infections and cataracts, glaucoma, among others in the future.
<h3>Here are 5 super foods that can boost eyesight</h3>
Omega-3 fatty acids
Fish like salmon, is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and could be great for the eyes. These &lsquo;healthy fats&rsquo; are needed for vision development and retina health. They even help prevent dry eyes. If you&rsquo;re a vegetarian, add nuts like walnuts and almonds, and chia or flaxseeds to your diet.
Dairy products
To improve night vision and prevent the onset of cataract, include foods rich in vitamin A and Zinc in your diet. Dairy is a good source of both. Yogurt and milk are easy to make a part of your daily diet.
Leafy vegetables
Eat your greens! Dark leafy greens and vegetables like spinach and kale contain two of the most essential antioxidants needed for healthy eyes, known as zeaxanthin and lutein. These antioxidants are stored in the Macula, which protects the eyes from damaging light. Eat at least three servings of greens per week to see a real difference.
Carrots
There could definitely be some truth behind the age-old adage that rabbits never wear glasses and it&rsquo;s because they&rsquo;re always munching on carrots. Rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into Vitamin A by the body, carrots could promote healthy vision. Eat them raw as a snack or make some carrot soup!
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits like oranges and lemons are rich in Vitamins C and E. They act as antioxidants and are great for eye health and prevent age related eye problems.
