A Sight-saving Cataract Operation
By giving a gift today, you can help to save a person from going blind and enable them to see their loved ones' faces.
Description
This gift represents a cataract operation to restore a person's sight and help them retain their independence. A cataract operation can cost as little as £24 for an adult, whereas an operation for a child can cost more, depending on the care needs of the child. Cataract is the world’s leading cause of blindness. It can have a devastating impact on a person’s ability to work and even carry out everyday tasks. Yet a quick and straightforward operation can make all the difference.
This item is representative of an essential surgical procedure on board our Flying Eye Hospital. By choosing to make a donation at this value you will be supporting our vital sight saving work wherever it is needed the most.
