Description
Eye surgery clinic. Eye surgeon, in a remote rural area of Kenya, checking an elderly person's eyesight to assess the need for an operation. Sometimes the damage is too severe and the operation is not possible. 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).
