Eye camp

FREE EYE OPERATIONS

The main cause of blindness in Bangladesh is cataracts, responsible for 60% of cases. It can strike both young and old. Even though cataracts can be easily cured by a simple operation, most of the Bangladeshi population has no access to treatment. If no urgent action is taken, countless people will be destined to remain blind for life. Since May 2000, we have been providing free eye treatment including surgery, glasses and medicines, transport to the hospital and the follow up care expenses. There are still many on our waiting list awaiting surgery. Help us save a sight -each cataract removal operation costs £30
