cataract surgery, accessible and
affordable for the poorest people in
the world. Together, they made
it happen.
Their efforts to establish the
Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology
and its revolutionary Fred Hollows
Intraocular Lens Factory in Kathmandu
dramatically reduced the cost of high
quality cataract surgery for people in
Nepal and other developing countries.
Now, The Fred Hollows Foundation
can restore sight for as little as $25
in some countries.
4 out of 5 people who are blind
don’t need to be.
Just $25 can restore sight.
