This crisis of cataract blindness is caused by the shortage of cataract surgeons. Hence, training addresses the root of the problem. Funds used to support cataract removal surgeries can treat only a fixed number of people. Those same funds used to train a cataract specialist will result in many more sight-restoring cataract surgeries. We want to equip the communities and their professionals with tools for addressing the problem of cataract blindness today and tomorrow. It is an issue of scale.
