9-year-old Shivani from Janathanager, India, was suffering from a severe case of Infantile Esotropia. Infantile Esotropia, or more commonly referred to as ‘crossed eye’, is a form of eye misalignment when there is an inward turning of the eye or eyes towards the nose.
 
Due to the high financial cost and her family's financial constraints, Shivani did not have access to treatment.
