FAIRFAX Va., Jan. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As of 2018, more than 32 million Americans are experiencing vision loss, and more than 24 million people over the age of 40 have cataracts specifically. The good news is cataract surgery is a safe and effective treatment; the bad news is it can cost as much as $6,000 per eye for those without insurance.

Key Points: 
  • U.S. based charitable cataract surgery program, Operation Sight, connects under- and uninsured who cannot afford to pay for cataract surgery to a nationwide network of volunteer surgeons.
  • Operation Sight is a U.S.-based charitable cataract surgery program launched in 2014 by The American Society of Cataract and Refraction Surgery (ASCRS).
  • The program connects under- and uninsured people who cannot afford to pay for cataract surgery to a nationwide network of volunteer surgeons.
  • Operation Sight depends on support from donors to continue funding these costly but important surgeries, and the annual Gift of Sight fundraising campaign is a chance to change someone's life.
