Sight Surgery International Volunteer San Salvador Cataractathon

Jan. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Our Cataractathon has been a great success so far,  we've examined dozens of people  and performed numerous operations and we still have another week to go.  This short film is just a sample of what we are doing all day long for two weeks.  Time really seems to fly when you're doing something so important for people.  What most people don't understand is that so much of the world's blindness is preventable and curable now.   Central America's political unrest continues as does the blindness rates for now.   We're passing on our techniques and machinery but the real continuing cost is basic supplies for the patients.   We volunteer our service while counting on donations from private citizens.
