When the bandage comes off, a grandfather sees for the first time the grandchild he had known only by voice; an elder who had stayed shut in at home walks back to the market the next morning.

Mobile Cataract Clinic: 300 Sights in 30 Days
A woman lifts her bandage and sees the shadows first, then the sky turning blue again; a world the cataract had closed reopens. The mobile surgical unit we set up across Ghana, Sierra Leone and Nigeria works in your name: we move the lens, the sterilisation set and the medicine into camp before the operation, screen each patient, perform the surgery, train a family member in aftercare and arrange transport and lodging. Across thirty days, three hundred eyes pass through screening, tests, operation and review in one camp without a break, and we keep the door to door follow up going. The time stamped record, the consent form and a GPS stamped photo of every operation land in your transparent file.
