Thanks for the explanation, Madani ji. May be you will find some time to write a fp article telling us more. ``One regrets world is passing by`` ...is hauntingly expressive of very deeply felt pain.

Re: # 3

For some reason the eyeball looses curvature improperly. The rays going through eye lense instead of intersecting and making Image on Retna intersect at less distance and then when they meet ratena get defracted. The effect is exactly sames out of focus lense held in hand. ( similar to hand lense at wrong distance and you do not see properly.)

The great tragedy of life... enormous suffering that finds little understanding and almost no sympathy. ... I clicked on this article only by chance. I lack the minimum level of empathy to be actively interested.

But thanks, SJ. People like you may still educate us and save our soul. This saving of the soul will be for real.




Madani ji

Could you please tell us in more detail what Karitoconus is, and what your experience with it has been. I am sure most people on chowk will thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Best regards.

Thanks for article. I have very much empathy for human suffering and for animal suffering, its part of life just as joy.
I have been going through few ailments including problems Karitoconus for whole life. Most of times there are no remedies but one needs to go as normal as posible and endure with dignity. The most terrible is mental depression as it is most which make you invalid and anxity just crushes down. We go through pain but the depression depth and anguish of helplessness has no limit even most sympathetic doctors can not even fathom few feets when real depth of anguish is ocean deep. I suspected the loved once suffer more as they can not bear which drives depressed even further. Only great relief is sleep , not deep but semiconciopus sleep one fears that brings some relief. Best relief is given by animals like dogs and cats. When I pet my old cat and he sits in my lap and gratefully licks my hand as he eats morsels from hand is heavenly.When he demands scratching of his head and likes scratching its most peaceful time. One regrets world is passing bye and I am not part of that, just passing show, as faomusly said passing through market, nothing to buy nothing to sell , just silent watcher of passing show.

Only way to survive is to have courageful faith and faithful courage and pragmatic attitude.
Sorry for irrelevance but after reading all this came to mind.
I wish everybody great 2006.

Nice and useful article. Reminds me of Amihtab`s movie ``black``. It was after watching that movie when I realized the enormous difficulties faced by deaf and dumb. Unfortunately, our society is not yet ready to deliver this much attention to the deprived, for the normal ones are suffering as much as disabled do in modren world.

Anyways, a nice informative article.
