Eye surgery patient,Kenya
Eye surgery patient. Old woman before cataract surgery. Her eye has been injected with a paralysing agent prior to surgery,and the ball over her right eye has been tied in place to apply pressure and reduce any swelling. This patient is being treated in a remote rural region of Kenya,and no local or general anaesthetics are available. A cataract is an abnormal cloudy and opaque area that can form in the lens of an eye. The condition will lead to blindness unless it is treated. A cataract operation involves cutting the cornea (at the front of the eye),removing the cloudy lens,and replacing it with a plastic fixed-focus lens.
