Keratoconus, often abbreviated to "KC" and pronounced: KEHR-a-toh-kohn-nus, is a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the normally round dome-shaped cornea progressively thins causing a cone-like bulge to develop.

Saba Rizvi comes from a conservative family in Lucknow, UP. Neither Saba, nor anyone in her family knew about the facilities and the opportunities Saba Rizviavailable for the blind to study, so she never went to school and had always thought that blind people like her can only be home-bound all throughout their lives. Then after 34 years, she almost instantly got addicted to the then new radio show for the blind, Eyeway – Yeh Hai Roshni Ka Karawan (Caravan of Light).
