Dr. Sanduk Ruit, known as the God of Sight, has restored vision to over 100,000 people free of charge. Born in a remote village in Nepal, he revolutionized cataract surgery by developing a high-efficiency microsurgical technique. His method costs under $5 per patient, making life-changing medical care accessible compared to the expensive procedures typical in Western healthcare.
By utilizing affordable, high-quality intraocular lenses, Dr. Ruit has made blindness preventable in the world's most impoverished regions. Through the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology and the Himalayan Cataract Project, he has expanded his impact by training surgeons across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This global effort ensures that his innovative techniques continue to spread hope and healing across multiple continents.
Today, Dr. Ruit leads mobile eye camps into remote areas lacking permanent hospitals, often performing hundreds of surgeries in temporary tents or classrooms. His mission is to eliminate curable blindness within his lifetime, bringing light to those living in isolation. His dedication has transformed thousands of lives, proving that sustainable, low-cost medical innovation can solve massive global health challenges.
