Talents help blind people see after ... 5 minutes

Perhaps more than any doctor in the history of ophthalmology, this doctor restored eyesight to more than 100,000 people and many patients continued to come to him. See how this doctor does the same thing as observing a miracle.

Doctors treat cataracts in just 5 minutes

Dr. Sanduk Ruit, a Nepalese ophthalmologist, may be the world champion in the fight against blindness because he helped find light for more than 120,000 people.

Thuli Maya Thing was blind due to cataract and after being operated by Dr. Sanduk Ruit, her vision reached 20/20.

According to the World Health Organization, of the 39 million people worldwide who are blind, about 50% are cataracts - and about 246 million others have impaired vision. And if it is a blind man in poor countries, there is no hope in the light of seeing the light. But Dr. Ruit initiated a simple cataract surgery technique at a cost of only $ 25 for each patient with a very high success rate, helping tens of thousands of people find light. .

Meanwhile, in the United States, cataract surgery is usually performed on complex machines while the ruit doctor only uses conventional medical devices. Therefore, there was skepticism about this method until the American Journal of Ophthalmology published the results of a study showing that Dr. Ruit's technique was very accurate (98% of cases were successful after 6 months of surgery. Art), equivalent to the results of machine surgery in Europe. The biggest difference in Dr. Ruit's method is faster and cheaper.

Currently this 'Nepalese method' is currently being taught in US medical schools. And a Stanford University student (USA) has seen Ruit perform "magic" on more than 100 patients living in Nepal, including Thuli Maya Thing, a woman over 50 years old and blinded by cloudiness. vitreous years.

Accordingly, Thuli was injected with a local anesthetic and her left eye was "lifted" up by a speculum, Dr. Ruit began to make a small incision on the eyeball with the help of a microscope, then lifted the broken glass part and put a new lens into the eye. The whole process takes only 5 minutes. Then he repeated this process in the patient's right eye.

And what is more admirable is that not only is it good at surgery, he and his colleagues also produce the glass for $ 3 for 1 lens, compared to $ 200 in developed countries. And the quality of this lens is so great that it has been exported to 50 countries, some of which are in Europe.

And this has impressed the world's experts. Dr. David F. Chang, former president of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, described Dr. Ruit as "one of the most important ophthalmologists in the world".
