AP PHOTOS: Simple surgery heals blind Indonesians

11/22/2012 majac Your Health Matters

In this Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012 photo, 20-year-old patient Ayu Pratiwi who has been blind since she was 10 lies on a bed as she waits for her cataract surgery at Putri Hijau military hospital in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Indonesians flocked to the hospital for free cataract surgery performed by a team led by Nepalese master surgeon Dr. Sanduk Ruit who is renowned for his high-volume assembly-line approach. During the eight-day eye camps held in two towns in North Sumatra, more than 1,400 cataracts were removed. (AP Photo/Binsar Bakkara)They came from the remotest parts of Indonesia, taking crowded overnight ferries and riding for hours in cars or buses — all in the hope that a simple, and free, surgical procedure would restore their eyesight.
