Youngsters with eye disorders get help to receive treatment

Urumqi - Just like her 15-year-old sister, Jenet, a 6-year-old Kazak girl in Banfanggou township in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, was born with beautiful eyes.

Yet even with the aid of glasses, that beauty has done little to prevent the world from becoming slightly dimmer nearly every day over the past two years.

In 2010, Jenet's mother, Kulizha, noticed Jenet was sitting too close to the television and always looking down in a strange way. Alarmed, she took Jenet to a Urumqi hospital to have her vision checked.
