The Smile and See Foundation, a Belgiumbased organization, provided lifechanging cataract surgeries for visually impaired patients at the Vredendal Hospital Eye Care Centre in South Africa. Their weeklong efforts successfully carried out 102 surgeries, restoring sight and providing an opportunity for patients to remain economically active and function autonomously. The transformative power of global collaboration between different organizations and individuals was evident in this inspiring instance of unity and teamwork. The impact of these surgeries extends well beyond the improvement of eye health alone, providing a lifeline to numerous families.
