A patient gets her eye checked during her follow up after her cataract surgery at an eye camp in Lumbini, 288 kilometers (180 miles) south west of Kathmandu, Nepal, March 31, 2021. Nepal’s “God of Sight” eye doctor renowned for his innovative and inexpensive cataract surgery for the poor is taking his work beyond the Himalayan mountains to other parts of the world so there is no more unnecessary blindness in the world. Ruit, who has won many awards for his work and performed some 130,000 cataract surgery in the past three decades, is aiming to expand his work beyond the borders of his home country and the region to go globally.
