We care
We make a difference by partnering with organizations dedicated to eradicating vision impairment. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in South Africa. Blindness from cataracts can be completely reversed but most Government facilities are under tremendous pressure to meet the demand for cataract surgery. We have contributed our time and donated consumables in various outreaches to enable free vision-restoring operations in South Africa and other sub-Saharan regions.
We also assisted ophthalmologists in private practice who donated their time and skill to make these surgeries possible. Our sincere thanks goes to all the surgeons and staff involved and organizations such as Africa20twenty and the Tshemba Foundation, Foundation Elena Barraquer INC. Together we will continue the good work.
TOGETHER WE RESTORE SIGHT. TOGETHER WE ENABLE VISION.
