Twenty-two-year-old Ritu L lives in Bangalore, Karnataka. At the age of two, she started losing her eyesight due to a condition called Diabetic Retinopathy. Her parents still put her in a mainstream school, so she wouldn’t feel isolated or left out. However, in Class 7, Ritu faced another challenge when she underwent cataract surgery for one eye.
