Ophthalmology worries are of profound impact on our everyday life. There are millions in this world who start to lose their vision every day. Vision loss can affect one’s quality of life, thereby deteriorating them mentally, physically and spiritually. 

​

Limited access to Ophthalmological facilities causes an increased burden of visual impairment on the underprivileged populations. Cataract-induced blindness inhibits children from attending school, adults from doing their work, and family members their desired support and connection they need.

 

The World Report on Vision indicates that the burden of vision impairment tends to be greater in low- and middle-income countries. In many low-income regions, patient access to surgery and quality of surgeries provided are severely limited due to lack of resources. This necessity worsens an already stressed population in a geographic region endemic to cataracts which could have been prevented or have yet to be addressed. 

 

As exposure to ultraviolet rays increases the risk of cataract and other eye conditions, those who work in agriculture are disproportionately at risk of developing cataracts. This would inhibit them from continuing to work, leaving these individuals with almost no means to provide what they need for basic food and shelter. ­­­­­­­­­

 

Our support and activities not only build a productive community, but adds significantly to the local economy. In addition to the services provided directly to patients, we also create a sustainable support for local healthcare infrastructure.
