Of the more than 36 million people worldwide suffering from unnecessary blindness, almost half are due to cataract – which can be surgically treated.
We aspire to cure the mountain of global blindness, one patient at a time.
The Himalayan Cataract Project works to cure needless blindness with the highest quality care at the lowest cost.
