HCP Cureblindness is now Cure Blindness Project See More

Cure Blindness Project co-founder Dr. Sanduk Ruit is credited as being the first Nepali doctor to perform modern cataract surgery with a sight restoring lens implant. He went on to adapt modern techniques for remote settings still maintaining the same high quality and low cost. This evolution in medical care for the poor became the basis for Cure Blindness Project’s patient care model that is now replicated in other low- and middle-income countries.

Cure Blindness Project outreach goals are to provide the highest quality eye care to as many people as possible.
