Dr. Sanduk Ruit US Speaking Tour
Dr. Sanduk Ruit, co-founder of Cure Blindness Project, is embarking on a multi-city tour across the US addressing audiences about an exciting humanitarian initiative and future plans to restore sight to millions. Expansion of this intraocular lens (IOL) factory will allow the production of more high-quality IOLs for the treatment of those with avoidable blindness.
Changing Lives Through Sight
Nearly three decades ago, when Dr. Sanduk Ruit and his team proposed the idea of producing high-quality intraocular lenses (IOLs) in Nepal, they were met with skepticism and criticism. The vision was dismissed as overly ambitious, an idea too bold for a developing country. Undeterred, Dr. Ruit and his team pursued their mission to establish a facility that could produce IOLs on par with leading global manufacturers. Today, the lenses manufactured at Tilganga’s IOL Laboratory have been implanted in over 6.5 million eyes across the globe — a powerful testament to what determination and innovation can achieve.
