You can read more about Cari’s trip in the latest (23-30th January 2018) ‘My Weekly’ magazine.
Cari met 60-year-old grandmother Honorine. Honorine’s cataract was so severe that she could no longer cook or sew. While Honorine still worked, she could barely see the machete she used as a peanut and maize farmer, so was terrified she would hurt herself. Gransnet's Cari had previously had a cataract removed – only Cari’s was spotted early on in a routine eye examination. In contrast to Honorine, Cari’s cataract was spotted so early she had not noticed its effects. Her only inconvenience was not being able to drive for two weeks after the operation to have it removed.
