Sight is one of the greatest gifts in human life, while losing the ability to see is undoubtedly a profound hardship. One of the most common eye conditions in this context is cataracts. This condition can be associated with factors such as malnutrition, excessive exposure to sunlight, and eye injuries.
A cataract occurs when the natural lens of the eye, located behind the pupil and responsible for focusing light, loses its transparency and becomes cloudy. In other words, vision becomes blurred, as though looking through a fogged-up window. Cataracts cannot be treated with medication or glasses. There is no effective medication to stop their progression, and the only effective treatment for an existing cataract is surgery.
Patients who require surgery receive treatment from our experienced medical teams. All operations are performed by qualified specialists in appropriate hospital environments, under hygienic conditions and by appointment. Following surgery, patients may regain or significantly improve their vision.
A donation of just €75 can help bring light into the lives of people in Afghanistan and Somalia who are at risk of losing their sight due to difficult living conditions. This amount covers all medical expenses and, when necessary, food and transportation costs.
Every blessing deserves gratitude in its own special way. Perhaps the most meaningful way to express gratitude for the gift of sight is to help someone who cannot see regain their vision.
