Eye surgeon Dr. Sanduk Ruit from Nepal and his American partner Dr. Geoff Tabin have made perfecting a portable low-cost surgical procedure to restore sight their life's work. They trek to remote villages in Nepal's remote northeast, carrying an entire hospital on porters' backs. There they operate cataract-blinded patients who normally would not have any access to health-care services. In developing countries like Nepal, blindness is not only a personal tragedy, but can devastate the economy of entire communities.
