Nestled in the heart of Nepal's Annapurna Region, Manang district in Nepal boasts of abundant scenic beauty. Sadly, within the age-old villages in the traditional homes, many live a life of needless blindness because they are either unaware of treatment, or cannot access or afford surgery. Like in most areas of the developing world, in Manang too, cataracts are the leading cause of such needless blindness. It was in this district the Tej Kohli and Ruit Foundation staged an outreach microsurgical eye camp (OMEC) in May, 2022 - screening 832 of the district's 5,645 people, and curing 62 of needless blindness.
