Cataract Surgery | Let the Light Return

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in Rwanda. The Fred Hollows Foundation reports about 1.7 cataract surgeons for every million people there. One in three people with cataracts does not know that surgery can treat it. An eye nurse from a partner hospital screens patients at local health centres. Your gift is matched to one patient on the surgery list within 72 hours. The hospital's city then appears in your account. A cataract surgeon at the partner eye hospital performs the operation and fits a new lens. The patient uses eye drops and returns for a check. Sight is measured at that check. A short note from it is added to your account. The second eye joins the list when it also has a cataract. May ALLAH restore sight to every clouded eye.

I ask ALLAH in my prayer each night to heal eyes clouded by cataracts. With that intention I donated for one cataract operation that night.

Cataract surgery swaps the clouded lens for a new one. That simple fact made me happy. I sponsored an operation the following week.

I open every note in the app after a patient's surgery. The latest note reached me some weeks after the operation. It made me smile.

An eye nurse screening people at a health centre decides who goes on the surgery list. I paid for the next cataract operation on it that day.

The photo from bandage day at the eye hospital reached my account some weeks after I donated. I felt at ease seeing the surgery date under it.

It bothers me how few people in Rwanda reach cataract surgery. I sponsored an eye operation again this year.
