BLINDNESS CAUSED BY CATARACT IS TREATABLE
cataract is one of the most treatable causes of blindness.
Yet, due to ignorance, lack of access to eyecare facilities, fear, or financial constraints, so many silently lose their sight — in a world where they could still see clearly.
Every cloudy eye tells a story:
A grandmother who can no longer recognize her grandchildren.
A teacher forced to stop doing what she loves.
A father who can’t drive or work anymore.
It’s time we speak louder about this.
👁️ Cataract is not a curse.
👁️ It’s not the end of vision.
👁️ Surgery can restore sight and quality of life.
Let’s encourage early eye checks. Let’s educate. Let’s give sight a fighting chance.
Because blindness shouldn’t be the price anyone pays for silence. 💡
