Eyes For Africa - restoring sight through cataract surgery

Julie has been an opthalmic nurse for over 40 years  working at RVEEH for 35 years  and now in PANCH Day Surgery in Preston. 

She founded Eyes for Africa in 2007 after seeing the need while holidaying in Ethiopia .

Over the past twelve years she has facilitated  over 3500 sight restoring cataract surgery to people living in rural and remote villages in Ethiopia. 

Without her help these people would remain blind. 

EFA  sponsored a local opthalmic to train as a cataract surgeon , He now works for Orbis International  in Jinka in the OMO Valley and now works for EFA  , during our campaigns.
