More than 2,000 people have received free eye screening, and about 300 individuals have undergone cataract surgery, thanks to a collaborative effort between the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) and the Cure Blindness Project.
The initiative, aimed at restoring sight and improving access to eye care services in the Northern Region, was spearheaded by Prof. Geoff Tabin, a Professor of Ophthalmology and a founding director of the Cure Blindness Project. He emphasized the long-term goal of the partnership, stating, "The ultimate objective of the collaboration is to have continuing excellent cataract services in Tamale so patients can access a cure and have their vision restored."
Dr. Gilbert Bortiaka Bonsana, an ophthalmologist, highlighted that while blindness has several causes, cataracts remain a leading factor. He stressed that surgery is currently the only known effective treatment for cataracts, as no eye drops or medication can reverse the condition. "Cataract is reversible, and I encourage anyone experiencing vision difficulties to seek medical attention early," he advised. He also urged the public to dismiss misconceptions about eye surgery, assuring them of its safety and effectiveness.
One of the beneficiaries, Imam Abu Sufian Adam, shared his experience, recounting how he had sought treatment from various health facilities for years without success. "I heard about the programme at the Tamale Teaching Hospital, I went there, got screened, and underwent surgery. I could not see at a distance before, but now I can see from far," he said, expressing gratitude to the organizers for the life-changing intervention.
The initiative is expected to enhance eye health awareness and provide sustainable cataract treatment services in the region, ultimately improving the quality of life for many residents.
