Based on reports, a 10-year-old girl, born with congenital cataracts, has been left completely blind following a surgery that was meant to restore her vision. 

The incident has devastated the girl's family and raised concerns over the medical procedure.  

Identifying as "Xiao Ni," the victim comes from a single-parent household in Tanjung Karang, Selangor. Her mother, Wong Mei Qi, who also has congenital cataracts due to a family history of the condition, has been her primary caregiver.  

Wong had initially sought treatment for Xiao Ni at a government hospital, where the child showed signs of improvement. However, in pursuit of better care, Wong decided to consult a private hospital in Kuala Lumpur in June 2022.  

During the consultation, doctors assessed that Xiao Ni's condition was critical and warned of potential blindness without immediate surgery.  

"I didn't want to see my daughter lose her sight, so I agreed to the surgery. But after the procedure, my daughter's right eye began to bleed. The doctor only prescribed eye drops and assured me that her vision would gradually return, " Wong explained.  

Unfortunately, two years later, Xiao Ni has not regained her vision and is now fully blind.  

Wong expressed her dissatisfaction with the medical team, alleging they failed to provide crucial information about the surgery's success rate, potential risks, or follow-up care.  

"If the doctor had informed us of the likelihood of success, the risks involved, or any potential side effects, I could have made a more cautious decision," she said.  

"I have to stay strong and become my daughter's eyes, and be her greatest support," Wong said.

The incident has sparked conversations about the need for thorough medical consultations and transparency in healthcare decision-making.

**Congenital cataracts are characterized by cloudy areas in the lens of the eye present at birth, often leading to impaired vision if untreated.
