Operation Sight provides free cataract surgery to people who are uninsured or under-insured and would otherwise not be able to afford or access care. Their U.S.-based, charitable cataract surgery program screens patients for eligibility and then works to
match approved patients with a volunteer surgeon, who is able to provide charitable cataract surgery at no cost to the patient.
Eligibility:
1. This program helps people with income at or below 200% of federal poverty guide-
lines
2. Must be uninsured or underinsured when insurance does not cover cataract surgery
3. Patients who receive Medicare Part B are ineligible. The program does not pay or
assist with copays
4. Must have a formal cataract diagnosis where cataract surgery has been deemed medically necessary
5. Must be permanently residing in the United States. Applicants who are temporarily visiting do not qualify for the program
