A Story That Gives Sight
In a world where preventable blindness affects millions, the stories of Dr. Geoffrey Tabin and Dr. Sanduk Ruit stand out as a testament to what is possible when sheer determination meets medical expertise. Second Suns recounts the improbable partnership between a bold American surgeon and a visionary eye doctor from the Himalayas.
It is a raw look at the logistical nightmares, the dangerous treks, and the bureaucratic hurdles they overcame to perform high-quality cataract surgeries in some of the most remote corners of the globe.
What It’s About
David Oliver Relin — author of the bestselling Three Cups of Tea — follows two pioneers who refused to accept that blindness should be a life sentence for the world’s poor. Their mission: to prove that high-quality, low-cost cataract surgery could be delivered anywhere, even on a mountainside in Nepal.
Through their work, thousands of people once written off by society received the gift of sight.
