meet dr. rowitz
hi I am dr. Sandra cruet and I have
completed 100,000 surgeries in my life
dr. Rohit is an eye surgeon from Nepal
and he is fixing one of the biggest
problems in the world our eyes you don't
know this but our eyes get cataract and
eye disease that affects 90% of us 90%
by age 65 our vision gets blurry and
with time everything goes dark and we
can go blind people all around the world
can barely drink barely walk and barely
see because of cataract
due to local to come local and that's
where dr. Ruth comes in he went on a
mission to treat cataract in people who
can't afford it normally a cataract
costs $200 but he invented a way to
treat cataract that caused only $3 and
for this price he was able to go around
the world and give treatment to people
for free I very strongly believe if we
can do it in Nepal we can do it anywhere
in the world in the remote villages he
would rent an empty hall and turn it
into a hospital hundreds and thousands
of people come out to get treatment many
of them are poor and blind many of them
couldn't get a doctor before and in five
minutes
he treats their eyes and gives them back
their vision I'm happy to hear you the
fact is when you sit in the chair there
you realize that you've been given an
opportunity a privilege to make a
difference and not only the eye but in
the life of that person all it takes is
five minutes to treat lifelong blindness
and three dollars but you can see the
joy in our face you know and this is
give her enough vision to move around
she could never get around and do most
of the things alone
dr. Rohit went all around the world
treating people in China in Nepal in
India and even North Korea so far dr.
Rua to personally treated 100,000 people
he is the first thing people saw when
they got their vision back that's why he
got the nickname the god of sight

one of my sister yang la was younger to
me very close to me and when she died at
the age of 15 and that really triggered
me to think and I taught that medicine
is probably a branch where I can help
people like my sister
from all over Nepal people like doctor
Rohit
are not just the gods of sight they are
the reason Humanity is beautiful see you
next week
