The Foundation restores the sight of indigent patients drawn from the Government’s two-year waiting list; by effecting a simple operation whereby the cataract is removed from the damaged eye and replaced with a synthetic lens implant.
It is the view of the Foundation that indigent people should not suffer continuously in a state of dependency, where a relatively simple intervention could have the exponential effect of empowering not just the victim of cataract, but entire households. The operation is quick and cost-effective and allows the patient to be independent and productive again.
The Into the Light Foundation brings together the necessary capital, both human and monetary, to ensure that the poor get the best professional care, in the best possible environment, in the private sector, at the lowest possible cost to the donor and at no cost to the patient.
