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 [office name], Michael received free cataract surgery–giving him back his life.

my_username Sinishaw quit school in the sixth grade when cataracts stole his vision. His blindness impacted his family greatly; his mother even quit her job to care for him. When he tried to walk around by himself he often fell and got hurt.

The family desperately wanted to help their son, but couldn't afford treatment.

Thanks to [office name] and their support, an outreach changed that by providing free sight-restoring surgeries.

Sinishaw, now 22, received free care and can see again. I don't know how to thank you, says his father Admasu Aman. "God bless you all."

my_username From isolation to connection.

Paul, 90, was blind and partially deaf when he arrived at City Eye Hospital. His family tells Cure Blindness Project that he spent most of his waking hours sitting alone, isolated from his family, due to a lack of sight and sound.

Thanks to [office name], one day following his free cataract surgery, Paul’s a changed man. Blindness muted his life. His restored sight has turned the volume up and he’s again living out loud.
