An optometrist in Springbok, Northern Cape, has volunteered to help people with cataracts andin Namaqualand as there are no government specialists in the region to help them.

For two years, Loraine Damon was blind. Cataracts robbed her of her eyesight. A simple operation would solve her problem. But the waiting list for those who can’t afford private care is daunting. Her story is not unique. Hundreds of others in the province suffer from this curable blindness. Thomas Van Neel was sent from pillar to post after his diagnosis.

While the procedure is available in the private sector, many cannot afford the R50 000 for the surgery. Optometrist Tharien Schoeman saw the need and felt obligated to assist. She is using her own resources to aid pensioners.
