Pictured is Meli (in the centre) and his two of his six siblings, who our team met during the paediatric surgery week at the Pacific Eye Institute (PEI) in Fiji earlier this year. Meli's older sister had cataract surgery at PEI several years ago, which is how the family found out about these services.
Meli tried to remain strong as his eyesight was deteriorating, coping in any way he could. If he ever went somewhere for the first time, he would have to tap around with his foot to feel the way forward. He struggled to see at school, and missed out on playing with his friends.
On his 10th birthday, Meli under went sight restoring strategy. Now he is looking forward to reading and playing soccer with his friends.
Thanks to Specsavers, all donations will be matched up to $40,000. Your $75 = $140, meaning your donation will have double the impact. Add a donation to your order, that means twice as much this Christmas.
How your gift helps
9 out of 10 people who are blind don’t need to be; their condition is preventable or treatable.
Your gift will help us to not only restore sight, but train local eye health specialists to provide eye care services in their own communities, strengthen local health systems, and support research that will help us to better understand and deliver on current and future eye care needs.
