ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Immense appreciation be to Professor Asad Aslam Khan for creating this outstanding opportunity of polishing skills and enhancing knowledge in superspeciality arena of pediatric ophthalmology. In a community bullied by poverty endriven quackery, targeting galaxies of realities is monumental.

Appreciation is a word belittled by dynamic, perceptive, pleasant and encouraging tutorial Dr Ashal Kaiser Pal, whose innovative and practical impact I hope to bear in my pediatric outlook as a positive research partnership.

It was only because of my father i pursued subspeciality of pediatric ophthalmology. He was the only one who supported my decision to pursue this esteemed subspeciality with a wish to put my imprints on the sands of time and utility to generations.

A lot of support I gathered from my loving wife and energetic kids Aqib, Saqib, Raqib, Hamza and the great Sibtain for that gratefulness is too small a phrase to be mentioned.

Life has travelled a long way on its monumental journey and I pray to my Beneficient Allah and Merciful Creator to make the remaining more useful to his creations for the sake of our Beloved Ideal The Holy Prophet SAWW to whom all the sands and the souls owe a lot.
