Re: The BMJ Christmas appeal 2016-7: Orbis, the sight savers
I'd like to add my support to include Second Sight in your next BMJ supported appeal. It is run by a doctor on a voluntary basis so all donations go into saving people's sight, mainly in Bihar, one of the poorest areas in the world.
Lucy Mathen has been effective at challenging Indian doctors to join colleagues from other countires in helping save the sight of people who cannot afford to pay for a simple cataract operation.
