my_username Many people come to us simply knowing that they can’t see, but they don’t know why. People like Yesak.
“I’ve been unable to read well enough to teach my eleventh graders students for a year, so I've been buying eyeglasses from the market without a test, but it hasn't helped,” says 56-year-old teacher Yesak in Ethiopia.
Eyeglasses didn’t help Yesak because he was developing cataracts.
Yesak was overwhelmed after Cure Blindness Project partners removed his bandages and he could see.
“I can now read a lot of books and am prepared to assist my students,” he says.

my_username “Two years ago, I realized I could not see as clearly. Reading, a beloved hobby of mine, almost became impossible. I remember many occasions when I couldn't notice people gesturing at me and ignoring their greetings. Some took offense to this atypical behavior, and my social life and relationships were impacted," says Joshua, a 30-year-old theology student from Ghana. "Indeed, I prayed for a miracle.”

my_username As a graphic designer, 27-year-old Michael Ankomanyi creates visual elements to delight the senses. Losing his sight meant not only losing his livelihood but also his identity as an artist, “The eye is the window to the body. It sees everything and transmits information to the brain. If you can’t see, then you are lacking.”
“I have experienced very dark moments; I lost all hope. For days, I would sit in my room and cry. I never imagined regaining my sight again.”
But thanks support by [practice name], Michael received free cataract surgery–giving him back his life.
