Sharing Restored Sight Story One: The One Millionth Artificial Intraocular Lens
22 years ago, Zubaida Bibi received the one millionth artificial intraocular lens produced by The Fred Hollows Foundation.
By implanting the clear artificial lens, Zubaida's cataract was removed, allowing her to regain her sight and no longer rely on her family for care.
To make cataract surgery more affordable for more people, Professor Hollows, the founder of The Fred Hollows Foundation, dedicated himself to establishing artificial lens factories in Eritrea and Nepal, significantly reducing production costs. This made cataract surgery more accessible and helped more people avoid blindness.
To date, the factories have produced over 8 million artificial lenses. With your support, we can help more people regain their sight.
Sharing Restored Sight Story Two: I can help my family now!
Imagine the world in front of you gradually blurring. You are unable to read school textbooks clearly, and the road outside your home is filled with danger.
Alexcis, a teenager, had cataracts in both eyes, preventing him from reading and writing. Because of his poor vision, he was afraid to leave his house. Although cataracts can be treated, Alexcis’ family couldn't afford the medical expenses, plunging his world into darkness. Fortunately, The Fred Hollows Foundation was able to help.
With our help, Alexcis underwent cataract surgery, and in less than a year, his life was transformed - he could read again, play in the sun, and explore the world. Most importantly, he no longer needed assistance from his family and could even help care for his newborn sister!
One surgery not only restored his sight but also renewed his hope, leading him towards a new and bright future. This is the power of restored sight. 💛✨
Sharing Restored Sight Story Three: See you at school!
Seven-year-old Cam lives 25 kilometers from Quang Ngai Province, south of Xuan Truong, Vietnam, and has been blind for four years due to cataracts.
Just walking in the sunlight caused her eyes to ache from the intense light. Lacking financial resources and support, she couldn't access basic eye care.
Fortunately, The Fred Hollow Foundation held an eye check-up camp at a school in the area and discovered Cam's condition, providing her with surgery to restore her sight. The day after the surgery, Cam could already see and happily returned to school to continue learning.
Your monthly donations illuminate her life.
