Pfizer Spain Program: Pfizer Spain sponsored 17 Ophthalmologist to come to Vietnam to do Trachomatous Trichiasis surgeries (TT).
The gentleman in many of these pictures is Jose Arriaga from the Cannery Islands. He used his vacation both last year and this year to do these sight saving surgeries.
The 17 Ophthalmologists will do over 2,000 TT surgeries in 10 days.
Their days are incredibly long. Their backs are awful sore by days end.
They always have a smile on their face.
The patients are incredibly stoic. Lidocaine is injected into the eye socket. They never move. They calmly lay there for as long as the surgery takes.
At the end, they are so grateful, as are their family members.
