With heartfelt gratitude, we celebrate Dr. Curtis Bain of Perth Eye + Vision Clinic for his incredible generosity and dedication to our community. Understanding the critical importance of accessible cataract surgeries for local residents, Dr. Bain has donated an extraordinary $10,000 to our Cataract Microscope Campaign.
Cataracts remain the leading cause of vision loss in Canada, affecting over 500,000 individuals annually. While this vital surgery restores sight and transforms lives, the Ontario government does not fund the specialized equipment necessary for its success.
The Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital requires a state-of-the-art cataract microscope, valued at $363,833. This advanced medical tool is essential for delivering precise and life-changing cataract surgeries.
Thanks to community members like Dr. Bain, hundreds of patients can look forward to improved vision and enhanced quality of life.
