70 patients received free eye surgery.

The Cam My District Health Center, in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Eye Hospital, the Cam My District People's Committee, the Vietnam Commercial and Industrial Bank, and the Medical Equipment and Biomaterials Factory Joint Stock Company, successfully organized the Artificial Cataract Surgery Program.

Medical staff instruct patients on measures to protect their eyes after surgery.

During the program, more than 70 patients with cataracts, who were in difficult circumstances, received free surgery, restoring their eyesight and bringing hope and faith to the patients and their families.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Kim Ha, Deputy Director of the Cam My District Health Center, said that cataracts (dry cataracts, stony cataracts) are a common disease among the elderly due to the aging process. When suffering from this disease, patients' vision gradually decreases, and if not treated promptly, it can lead to blindness. Phacoemulsification surgery is the most effective solution to restore vision for patients. However, due to difficult economic conditions, many patients do not receive timely treatment, leading to a worsening of their condition or dangerous complications.

In the coming period, the center will continue to coordinate with organizations and sponsors to implement many programs and activities to help poor patients, contributing to improving public health.
