Cataract Surgery in Africa

We support people in need with vision problems in Africa to regain healthier vision by performing cataract surgeries.

What is Cataract?

Cataract is an important eye problem that causes vision to become blurred and decrease over time as a result of the lens of the eye losing its transparency. Cataracts can seriously affect people's daily lives, especially in regions where it is difficult to access health services and eye treatments.

We perform cataract surgeries in Africa to help people with vision problems due to cataracts regain their eye health. Operations performed by medical teams working in the field help people with vision loss to see better again.

Within the scope of our cataract surgery studies, those in need are identified, after the necessary health checks, the surgery process is planned and operations are performed on suitable patients.

What are the Symptoms of Cataract?

• Blurred or foggy vision
• Decreased vision quality
• Difficulty in night vision
• sensitivity to light
• Seeing colors as fainter

Cataract Surgeries in Africa

In the African continent, due to harsh climatic conditions such as malnutrition, intense sunlight and desert dust, cataract disease occurs even at a very early age and if left untreated, it leads to permanent vision loss. In rural areas, where it is almost impossible to reach an ophthalmologist and health centers, thousands of people continue their lives in the dark because a simple operation cannot be performed.

As the AFRİKA PLATFORMU, we perform cataract surgeries with our specialist doctors in health centers and mobile eye clinics established with your donations, and we enlighten the world of our brothers and sisters in need.
