Dr await has invited me to join him and his daughter on this trip. We begin with a days drive into the mountains. Next morning a journey its tough. Its a steep climb but this is familiar terrain for a doctor oh wait. He grew up in similar foothills in a remote village in east in nepal where he learned what it means to lose somebody to illness when he was a teenager his sister died of tuberculosis you know it was very mental in my life because she passed away in front of me. And also i felt certain amount of an emptiness inside you know. A medical conditions like this can take away their wants from you so soon so i really felt that maybe this is a profession that i should take up. This will be the 1st i camp ever held in this region. The risk of getting a cataract rises in such high altitudes with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. This combined with poor nutrition and lack of basic medical care may catch wrecks the leading cause of preventable blindness in the developing world. After an 8 hour trek we arrive in the village of bondi. Most of the people here assured that an ethnic group made. Famous for climbing everest dr waitstaff arrived at head of us and have already begun setting up. A team is rushing to transform this unfinished building into a makeshift hospital its all hands on deck to turn this room into a surgical stater everything is going to be sterilize the walls and floors scrubbed down in preparation for surgery tomorrow. Some patients are still making their way to the camp. For. The surgery could change her life. That im extremely happy that the i camp is here in my village i really hope that the operation works and theyll be grateful for that. Getting his wife to the i can is a challenge for e. G. Hes too weak to carry his wife so his brother has come along to help. In the now sterilized operating theater dr weight is getting ready for a long day he aims to complete at least 50 surgeries doctors in the west do only 121518 busy day. I joined him as he explains the small incision surgery technique he pioneered. A middle cut on the front surface of demands which is like the boy exists on the front shelf. Know what im doing next means im isolating the nucleus richest the. Nucleus from the back and take it out in one go like that seem credible. What youre left now is the back shell of the beautifully intact. With a clouded dumb. Lens now removed dr away to carefully slides in an artificial one and this technique requires no stitches. And this is the concept of just the smallest some surgery become self sealing. The surgery is over in less than 7 minutes and in less than 24 hours the patient will see again dr await spent years creating and perfecting the stitch for a surgical technique today his method is widely practiced around the world by doctors who travel to nepal to train under him many come from developing countries like indonesia mean ma ethiopia and even north korea. Not all of them speak with english so doctoral wait patiently guides them with hand actions. And. Work with. Dr joyce clough dane is an eye doctor from a Remote Island in indonesia a recent medical graduate shes here for a month long Training Program with doctoral wait. Still be able to do pieces independently now. For nearly perfecting the technique similarly to do about another 2000 before succumbing to besides and says and. Every year dr await and his tame train about 50 for an eye doctor. For them learning and a doctor await is a lifelong dream. The with. The ghost doctor it is an amazing i dont know a good man who wants to share his knowledge with other eye doctors regardless of which country you come from. For dr joyce its a steep learning curve to indonesia in indonesia i would operate on 2 to 3 patients a day where since ive arrived here i typically operate on night 10 patients daily. Its Late Afternoon and both doctors have been operating for more than 5 hours but the crowd outside desperate for their turn isnt easing up. Finally its turn. These cataracts are not going to much or got the help of a mature. And about to burst out if she left her for longer would it be possible to operate. Them is a really good chance those you know going down was collinson is glaucoma and. Would probably be left with. An absolute blind eye. And curveball after a few minutes the surgery is done. But. The next morning back at the i camp anticipation and anxiety filled the air. I dont know. I have to no one seems as anxious as. They are that other. Men did the talk of the day you know. If they do go a little more mum. Number thats up if youre going to us. For all we would have but we had a look at that moment i was in the middle not so much of that. Yeah but im like yeah. Yeah theres some other guy like. If you. Actually did say that. My dog is any good i dont believe it was the well we do the article that says already that weve got. To get out of the last find your yo yo yo yo yo cause of that as i want to that might get my head is that i think you know you and i you know this so sickly intervention is one of the few you know where you will see the patient like this just within 24 hours you know and after 24 hours sees at least 10 years younger than she was yesterday that brings the life brings to life you know the this smiles the author of here and i you know in a cycle of psychology and confidence and you see probably has a legacy expressed in the word. In a beautiful or today getting a week from a deep sleep you know let itself say so. None of these villages here thought theyd ever see again. Its a new beginning. To an awful lot like in the silliness of when i was in my life so i feel like ive just come eyes of my mothers womb and everything is so clear i just want to do my work and roam in the fields i havent been anywhere in the past few years but once again strength i would like to travel around the world. Its the end of dr joyces month long training in nepal shell be taking what shes learned home to indonesia to the small island of nias wish to serve as the only trained eye doctor. Its a lot of pressure but she remains upbeat. And yes im happy to return to me yes apart from see my family i can also help the cataract patients in me as regain their eyesight. A few days later i also head for indonesia. I want to see how dr joyce is doing if doctors are having problems getting into nepals mountains indonesia has 17000 islands are even more challenging its why having a local eye surgeon is crucial. In these as one of the highest rates cataract blindness in the world with experts estimating between 2 and 3000000 people affected by the disease theres been no official studies done here on this island but its not just adults who are suffering from correct blindness and were about to find out why. While altitude is a problem in the pool here is the ultraviolet rays reflecting off the water for a community that spends a lot of time in the ocean many are at high risk of developing cataracts. Today dr joyce is conducting the islands 1st cataract surgery camp to dr awaits for most students have flown in to help. While cataracts are usually associated with older people we find children among the waiting patients at that but for cataracts in children there is a possibility to have it from birth or that the pregnant mother suffered from malnutrition or fever contract a chicken pox but usually the cataracts dont fully form until theyre about 11 to 17 years old. The siblings are given something to comfort them in preparation for whats to come. It takes about 5 minutes for the anesthesia to take effect and then its time for surgery. In the theater dr joyce is getting ready to operate on her 1st child patient. Of the head with a. 13 year old soul than tell him ban or is afraid of needles and hid the fact that he was blind in one eye but when he found out there was a free i camp he confessed to his parents that he had trouble saying dr joyce makes the incision but its not easy to keep a young patient calm. But its soon over and solon is sent off to recover for dr joyce its on to the next patient. The hospital that shes working in is extremely basic sanitation is a problem and theres a severe lack of medical equipment we found only one sterilizer. But fortunately with dr awaits technique you dont need much. And 264 operations are completed here in just 2 days. The next morning the patients line up they and dr joyce are about to find out if the surgeries worked. Dr joyces young patient souls and is now able to see in his right eye itll take time before sovan fully recovers. My mind numbing but. I have 5 can you say maybe one meter to see if. You are long gone. I am. So numb but i feel happy and proud when my patients regain their eyesight after alterations about her have. 7 7 7 at this size nearly key is the patients begin to sing and dance its been a successful 1st camp. From nepal to indonesia dr awaits vision is inspiring a new generation of doctors. With the surgery so simple and for many free.
