Dr. Amit Tandon, an ophthalmologist who specializes in cataract, LASIK, and refractive surgery, embarked on a remarkable mission this year to support the underserved communities of Honduras. He was accompanied by his 15-year-old daughter, Elise, who eagerly participated in the mission. The mission was further strengthened by the participation of a dedicated team of 10-12 leaders, among whom was Anupama Horne, a resident alumni, and her daughter Aneesha.
Over five impactful days, this committed team conducted 98 comprehensive eye examinations, providing essential eye care to those in dire need. With their efforts, they were able to perform 35 cataract surgeries. Dr. Tandon and his team specialize in performing cataract surgeries, with a remarkable 99% of these procedures conducted on individuals who are legally blind. Through their expertise, they have been successful in restoring the vision of these patients, offering them a chance to see the world.
