Cataract

Cataract is the world’s leading cause of blindness, with around 18 million people blind as a result. Although cataract is found all over the world, getting treatment for it is much more difficult in developing countries, and it affects children as well as adults. Many people are needlessly blind from cataract because they don’t know that it can be cured.

Hopeful about fulfilling the vision for a world where every individual in need can have sight restored , can fulfill the dreams that they have and of course can see the sun shine - the clours of nature washed in sunshine , the colours of a rainbow ...nothing like making good use of vision - seeing this world and its true vibrant waves of life !
