As a member of Health for Humanity, Dr. Oh has volunteered to perform and teach eye surgeries in China, Mongolia, Albania and Dominica. He is a graduate of the University of Singapore College of Medicine and served his residency at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Dr. Lee, a native of Cambodia, is a board-certified ophthalmologist in private practice since 2003. He is a graduate of the University of North Dakota in Fargo and completed his residency and corneal-refractive fellowship at the University of Minnesota.

The surgery

Cataract surgery is generally performed under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure.

An ophthalmologist removes the cataract and implants the lens.

Surgery is usually done on one eye at a time.

Because the Bausch & Lomb crystalens intraocular lens uses eye muscles to focus, it provides the recipient with clear vision at all distances usually without the need of glasses.
