When you choose LASIK or Custom Cataract Surgery at Medical Eye Center, you\u2019re partnering with us to provide life-changing cataract surgery for a blind person in great need. We call it our Global Partners Program. For every LASIK and Custom Cataract Surgery performed, your surgeon will personally sponsor one sight-restoring cataract surgery in Nepal, Ghana, or Ethiopia through the <\/span>Himalayan Cataract Project<\/span><\/a> or<\/span> Daybreak Vision Project.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide, accounting for more than 18 million needlessly blind. While most global health challenges cannot be easily cured, cataract blindness is a striking exception. Cataract blindness can be cured \u201covernight\u201d with a 10-minute procedure for as little as $25 per eye. For this reason, the World Bank has called cataract surgery \u201cone of the most cost-effective public health interventions available.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
