The non-operated cataract is one of the main causes of blindness in the world. In our environment, it involves a 15-minute intervention, but in developing countries, the lack of resources and health personnel means that many people go blind due to cataracts at a very young age. The life expectancy of these people is going to be extremely short. Our NGO has operated for cataracts on almost 5000 people who were blind.
A common complication of cataract surgery is the opacification of the posterior lens capsule. If left untreated it can lead to blindness again. Treatment is through a small hole made in the capsule with a YAG laser. It is a process of just one minute that is carried out on an outpatient basis and restores the patient's vision. For this intervention a special laser (Nd-YAG laser) is needed whose cost, acquired in China, is € 12,000. That is our challenge to which we hope you will help us, get that amount
Stop Ceguera es una ONG española que tiene como objetivos la lucha contra la ceguera prevenible y tratable en el mundo en desarrollo. Desde que iniciamos nuestra campañas quirúrgicas hemos devuelto la visión a casi 5000 personas ciegas.
