Description
Eye surgery clinic. Eye surgery being carried out in a remote rural region of Kenya. The eye operations are being carried out in a mud hut, and the standards of hygiene and sterilisation are low. Common and debilitating eye conditions in this area include cataracts and trachoma infections, both of which can be treated relatively easily and cheaply, but can lead to blindness if not treated. Photographed as part of work by the UK charity MEAK (Medical and Educational Aid to Kenya).
