Our Work in the United States
Operation Sight, the ASCRS Foundation’s U.S. based charitable cataract surgery program, was launched in 2014 to serve financially vulnerable, uninsured individuals who cannot afford or access care. Unfortunately, Operation Sight is currently over capacity and not accepting new inquires at this time. Please check back in the coming weeks for updates.
