The Save the Sight Program

A cataract is a natural phenomenon where the lens in the eye turns foggy. It is most common amongst individuals who fall in the age group of 50+.

As per recent statistics from the National Center of Biotechnology and Information (NCBI), over 3.8 million Indians annually contract cataract. India currently requires over 1 crore cataract surgeries.

For the success of Global Vision 2020: The right to sight initiative by the World Health Organization (WHO), India aims to improve visual outcomes after cataract surgery and sight restoration rate and elimination of blindness.

In keeping with the mission, IGF-India with Prystin Care will make cataract surgery affordable to at least 20 Lakh (2 million) people who can't afford it.
