“We had a couple of patients come in who were unable to walk, and who had been blind for a number of years. Due to the fact that they were blind, they just stopped moving around and were only able to squat next the fire all day, thus their legs stiffened up and they lost their ability to interact with the world around them. One particular lady was carried by her sons (each taking turns) down from the mountains for about a 5hour journey (on their backs). She did not interact at all with anyone around her. We were able to remove both cataracts, and educate the sons on how to stretch and exercise her legs. By the time she had had the second cataract, a physical change in her face had every occurred. She was interacting with the people around her and even moving on her own. I was astounded to see how being totally blind could so cripple a person, and how much her sons cared for her to go to that much effort to help her. Giving back her sight really gave back her life. What a privilege.” - Peta-Ann Schmidt, Vision Program: November 2018 Longphang, India 🇮🇳
