High-volume cataract surgery & training model as the cornerstone to strengthening national systems of eye care

HCP|CureBlindness’ innovation to reversing avoidable blindness uses the elimination of cataracts as the cornerstone of national eyecare strengthening. It is a grassroots, community-based model that combines a low-cost, low-tech, high-volume surgical method with a multi-tiered training approach for all levels of ophthalmic personnel, focusing on high-volume surgical exposure. In our lean, efficient model, surgical teams can perform over 1,000-1,500 surgeries in one week, while simultaneously teaching the next generation of surgeons, nurses, and technicians through high-volume exposure. With clinical and surgical exposure comes higher quality care, which drives patient demand.
