<p> A film by Eric Perlman. Told from patients' point of view, a team of Ethiopian, American and Nepali doctors and staff perform 1,131 cataract surgeries in a single week.</p> <div class="row lightgray-box expanded align-center"> <div class="column small-12 text-center"> <h2 style="border-bottom: 0"></h2> </div> <div class="column small-12"> <div class='embed-container'> <iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WJx2lOARKlQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen="" title="VISION | Healing the Blind in Ethiopia"></iframe> </div> </div> </div> <p> Five blind Ethiopians suffer in darkness---helpless, hopeless and waiting for death. A simple, inexpensive surgery restores their sight in an astonishing moment of transformation. In a single day they return to lives of joyful normality.
