The devastating medical diagnosis that Zulma Lobato received after living on the streets

After going through especially difficult weeks, Zulma Lobato received painful news regarding her health. The media personality, who had recently been found homeless in Paraná, Entre Ríos, went to an ophthalmological consultation hoping to find treatment for the serious vision problems she suffers from.

The visit to the specialist was one of her main priorities after receiving financial help from those who rallied for her situation. Days earlier, Zulma had shared that she was "almost blind" and intended to allocate part of the money raised through a collection to a possible surgery.

However, the results of the evaluation changed her expectations. According to Jair Hourcade, known as La Pepona, who is currently supporting Lobato in Tandil, the professionals determined that the visual deterioration would be very delicate and that, for the moment, there would be no alternative to recover the lost vision.

“After the consultation with the ophthalmologist, we were told honestly that the state of her vision is very delicate,” La Pepona communicated through her Instagram profile.

What diagnosis did Zulma Lobato receive about her vision

Zulma's expectation was focused on the possibility of undergoing an intervention that could improve her visual capacity. However, according to the account shared by her companion, the specialist had ruled out that possibility based on her current condition.

“According to the evaluation conducted, there is currently no solution that allows her to recover the vision she lost,” Hourcade explained when communicating the results of the consultation.

La Pepona also emphasized that the doctor decided to clearly convey the situation, despite the emotional impact the news could provoke.

“The professional told us the plain truth, even though it is news that hurts a lot to hear,” she expressed.

Additionally, she explained the professional's diagnosis. "Nowadays, there is no possibility that with the high myopia presented and due to the little functioning retinal tissue, she can recover her vision as we wish. This does not mean that in a few years there may be a possibility of recovering or improving vision with the help of technological advances."

Zulma Lobato had said she was “almost blind”

The concern for the media personality's health had begun to grow days earlier when she herself spoke about the difficulties she was experiencing in seeing.

At that time, Zulma explained that she was "almost blind" and expressed her intention to seek a medical solution. The possibility of surgery had thus become one of the goals of this new phase.

Her vision problem came to light amid another complex personal situation. Weeks earlier, Lobato had shared that she had been evicted from her home and requested financial assistance to get back on her feet.

The impact of her story led to a solidarity campaign that, according to reports, managed to raise around 11 million pesos.

Subsequently, the artist was found homeless in Paraná, Entre Ríos, an episode that raised further concern for her well-being. Finally, she moved to Tandil with La Pepona, who began to support her during this process.
