By the time little Tam was just 5-years-old, he was already losing his sight to cataract. His mother first discovered he was having problems when they visited the park together. She pointed out some pretty lights to him, but he couldn’t see them. Unlike the other children who were pointing and laughing, five-year-old Tam was squinting and struggling to see.
The longer a child has to wait to have their cataract treated, the lower their chances of seeing clearly again. It’s a race against time, and every minute counts. This is why it’s so important to reach children like Tam and restore their sight as soon as we can.
We’re working hard to screen and treat children with cataract, but we need your help. Will you give a gift today and help us give clear eye sight to children like Tam in developing countries today?
