There are about 500'000 blind people in Viet Nam – mostly among the poor. “Cataract” accounts for two thirds of all cases. Cataract surgery, although a simple operation and with cost of about 1 million VND only – is totally unaffordable for many of the poor victims.
Call for Second event in September 2014
In September 2014, Eye Charity Vietnam will cooperate with Ho Chi Minh city Eye Hospital and Daknong province Multi-discipline Hospital to organise the second charity eye surgery event. It is estimated to have 200 patients this time (including those in Daklak that have both eyes affected and haved been cured one eye in first event)
Currently we are calling for donations to finance for this event to be implemented as planned.
