These are some images from the "Celebration of Sight" that is held every couple of weeks for Mercy Vision patients. The ophthalmologists are on board for 2-3 weeks at a time and perform up to 25 cataract surgeries a day ! New doctors rotate in and by the end of the field service in Sierra Leone thousands will have received sight. You can imagine the celebratory joy of these people some of which had been blind for years and after a ten minute operation have their sight restored!
