On Monday 26th July 2021, the Trinidad Eye Hospital in collaboration with the Diabetes Association of Trinidad and Tobago invited 25 persons in need of sight saving eye surgeries through the charity Christmas in July initiative. Through the kind contributions of generous donors, cataract and vitrectomy surgeries were performed free of charge for these deserving persons.

Trinidad Eye Hospital presents their Gift of Sight charity event where visually-impaired patients had their cataracts removed to restore their vision. This venture is in keeping with the Ministry of Health of Trinidad and Tobago’s plan to reduce the backlog of cataract surgeries. It is also in keeping with the World Health Organization’s global initiative to ‘Eliminate Avoidable Blindness, VISION 2020: The Right to Sight’.
