A cataract is the clouding of the lens of the eye. Over time, this cloudiness causes blindness which can be reversed.
Cataract surgery is amongst the most affordable surgical interventions and within 30 minutes a patient goes from blindness to sight. This relatively uncomplicated surgery is one of the ways that we aim to heal a heart. For most people, the thought of losing one’s eyesight is terrifying, and it is the loss of eyesight that can cause a loss of hope.
The little miracle of a cataract operation is a life changing event for many people who would needlessly have gone blind. By reversing their blindness, we ensure that the person is once more an active and contributing member of society.
