Clearing Vision, Changing Lives

Cataracts severely impair vision and, consequently, the quality of life for the elderly. As age advances, so does the likelihood of cataracts, clouding vision and complicating everyday tasks, undermining self-reliance and safety. Implementing a cataract program for seniors is crucial—it promises cost-effective surgeries to regain clear sight, mobility, and independence. This initiative not only curtails healthcare expenses linked to vision-induced mishaps but also promotes the mental well-being of seniors through active participation in community life. A dedicated cataract program is essential in averting blindness, nurturing autonomy, and improving the overall quality of life for our elders.
