About This Cause

Cataracts are the leading cause of avoidable blindness — and a short, routine operation reverses them. For an older person in rural Sri Lanka, that means seeing their grandchildren again and no longer needing a carer.

Your gift covers the full pathway: pre-operative screening, the lens-implant surgery, medication and a post-operative check. Surgery is carried out by the eye team at our partner hospital, named on each campaign update.
