At 12 years old, Ariana Rodriguez from the Philippines abruptly lost her sight, turning her life upside down. She felt like a prisoner in a dark world, unable to share her friends’ joy as they laughed and played. Losing her sight was not just a physical challenge. It changed her whole childhood.

Although her family struggled financially, Ariana held onto a thin strand of hope after hearing about the possibility of undergoing a surgery that could restore her vision through Noor Dubai. She was nervous, but she remained hopeful that this opportunity would allow her to see the world again.

After the successful operation, Ariana was filled joy and relief. After many years of darkness, she could finally see again. She had a renewed passion for reading, learning and playing, and was able to reclaim a precious part of her stolen childhood.

Ariana and her parents are deeply appreciative of Noor Dubai for changing their daughter’s life. The treatment has allowed her to live a life full of happiness and vitality and make new memories with her friends.
