October is Eye Care Awareness Month and today in our Everyday Hero slot we want to talk about eye health, celebrate the integral work Right to Sight Trust does and alert you to the signs of cataracts.Cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness globally, despite being completely preventable. In South Africa, an estimated 250 000 people are blind due to untreated cataracts.Even though cataract surgery is one of the most cost-effective medical interventions, between 40-60% of those suffering from visual impairment experience vision loss directly due to cataracts with a detrimental effect on the overall well-being of individuals and their family.Dr Jenny Laithwaite, Member of the Right to Sight Trust joins us on the line.
