Cambodian Eye Doctors and Cataract Outreach program is ON for this November 20 2023 !

Yes ! THE BLINDNESS FOUNDATION is again at work.

We have receive our annual invitation to help with the Cataract Outreach programs in Cambodia.

. The two locations are the Children's Hospital & Eye Doctors and the Ophthalmology Residency program based in the Soviet Friendship Hospital with the University of Health Sciences.

Dr Lyon was appointed Visiting Associate Professor of Ophthalmology to UHS , many years ago and has lectured annualy there to help train the young Ophthalmology Residents and assist their Cataract Outreach program for the poor.

This follows on from our September program of THE BLINDNESS FOUNDATION in another developing nation- Laos , sandwiched between China, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. Medical supplies were shipped ,at some expense, via Fed-EX as the USPS does not service Laos any more.These helped treat people blind with cataracts , helping them see agin and become productive members of their poor, rural villages . Laotian Eye Residents and mature Eye Doctors in the field were trained in the latest surgical techniques by Dr.. Lyon

So, for this Cambodian Eye Mission we are soliciting donations to help cover Mission costs , particularly the hsipping of lens implants to the two hospitals along with other needed medical supplies. Your kind donations help make this happen. You help cure blindness with your generosity-

Thank you
