a mission to kill blindness millions of people around the world suffer from blindness that makes difficult lives harder than ever it in many cases they condition could be easily cured most cases of cataract blindness occur in the developing world and often they go untreated simply because of poor access to medical facilities but in some of the most remote parts of napalm one of the world's poorest countries and i can revolution is on the way thanks to a doctor locally known as the go out of sight so effective as his technique that doctors from around the world come to naipaul to train with him from the 101 east series back in 2014 he is yahoo mail hands moving and beautiful film the gift of sight. the himalayas remote and wild.

the pose mountains are renowned for their picturesque beauty. for the many people living in the shadows of its peaks this stunning splendor can't be seeing. 'd is a 70 year old grandmother living in the foothills of nepal's himalayan mountains. is 4000 feet above sea level with a view many would pay to see. there 4 years ago her world faded to black. 'd it started as if something poked me in the right i and then it moved on to the left

and say as a. mother. ringback is blind in both eyes and lives her days immobilized by darkness and fear. her husband ring genies both her eyes and her feet. still her world is confined to the walls of this house. that. i used to plow the fields cuts grass and do a lot of work. now i can't even fetch water my husband has to do that. but a solution is within sight. as a form of blindness that is curable cataract blindness. across the country an estimated 150000 police struggle to see most a blind from cataracts a clouding of the key lens of the. arena

but one doctor has made it his mission to help them see again. i've come to the to ganga institute of ophthalmology to make the man locals call the god of site. son to kuwait is a world renowned expert in cataract surgery the 59 year old nepalese eye doctor has helped more than 100000 people to see his one dozens of awards and he's one of the world's leading up from ologists the doctor away still tries to give each of his patients some time even for basic ictus. the center in katmandu is not only a hospital but also a state of the factory. each year 350000 lenses outward

used here for cataract patients and sold across the world. in the us a cost $100.00 to many clock to just one lens here the costs only $3.00 to sell them through going to go bust you know making false. i.d.'s to make money. in fact many. millions of people who did the surgery if you believe them in a moment will come within the back of the ship if you're having hold might maybe caprica. dr weight is not only producing cheap lenses he's also changing the lives of the country's poorest by providing free surgeries all over nepal. today he's preparing to take his clinic out on the

road. dr await has invited me to join him and his daughter on this trip. we begin with a day's drive deep into the mountain. next morning a journey it's tough. it's a steep climb but this is familiar terrain for a doctor oh wait. he grew up in similar foothills in a remote village in east in nepal where he learned what it means to lose somebody to illness when he was a teenager his sister died of tuberculosis you know he was very mentally in my life because he passed away in front of me and also i felt a certain amount of an emptiness inside who know. a medical conditions like this

can take away their wants from you so soon so i really felt that maybe this is a profession that i should take up. this will be the 1st i camp ever held in this region. the risk of getting a cataract rises in such high altitudes with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays . this combined with poor nutrition and lack of basic medical care may catch wrecks the leading cause of preventable blindness in the developing world. after an 8 hour trek we arrive in the village of bunty. most of the people here assured an ethnic group may. famous for climbing everest dr waitstaff arrived at head of us and have already begun setting up. the team is rushing to transform this

unfinished building into a makeshift hospital it's all hands on deck to turn this room into a surgical stater everything is going to be sterilize the walls and floors scrubbed down in preparation for surgery tomorrow. some patients are still making their way to the camp. for. the surgery could change her life. an extremely happy that the i camp is here in my village i really hope that the operation works and they'll be grateful for that. getting his wife to the i can is a challenge for e.g. he's too weak to carry his wife so his brother has come along to help. in the now sterilized operating theater dr await is getting ready for

a long day he aims to complete at least 50 surgeries doctors in the west do only 10 to 15 on a busy day. i join him as he explains the small incision surgery technique he pioneered. from surface of immense this is like. the front. now what i'm doing next to me is i'm isolating the nucleus which is to be your could be the nucleus from the back and take it out in one go like that some credible. what you're left now is the back shell of the beautifully intact. with the clouded damaged lens now removed dr a way to carefully slides in an artificial one of these technique requires no stitches . and this is the concept of the 1st the small and some surgery become self sealing

. the surgery is over in less than 7 minutes and in less than 24 hours the patient will see again dr await spent years creating and perfecting the stitch for a surgical technique today his method is widely practiced around the world by doctors who travel to nepal to train under him many come from developing countries like indonesia meanwhile ethiopia and even north korea. not all of them speak good english so dr waits patiently guides them with hand auctions. work. dr joyce clough dane is an eye doctor from a remote island in indonesia. a recent medical graduate she's here for a month long training program with doctoral weight. so we'll be able to do pieces

independently now. for nearly perfecting the technique similarly to do about another 2000 the horse you can move to besides in season. every year dr weight and he's tame train about 50 foreign i doctor. for them learning under dr weight is a lifelong dream. of the with the. the doctor it is an amazing i don't know a good man who wants to share his knowledge with other eye doctors regardless of which country you come from. for dr joyce it's a steep learning curve. in indonesia i would operate on 2 to 3 patients a day where since i've arrived here i typically operate on night 10 patients daily . it's late afternoon and both doctors have been operating for more than 5 hours

but the crowd outside desperate for their turn isn't easing up. finally it's turn. these cataracts are. not going to mature but the help of a mature. and to burst out if she left her for longer would it be possible to operate. them is a really good point. was collinson this bloke. would probably be left with. an absolute blind eye. incredible. after a few minutes the surgery is done. but. the

next morning back at the i camp anticipation and anxiety filled the yeah. ok. i'm normal. i had to no one seems as anxious as your mother i. just thought of whatever that other. man did the doctor the other day you'll. have to do a little more mum. number this up if you're going to us up front that we would have what we had about you know that i'm a letter from the middle not some other. yeah well

i'm like yeah. yeah there's some other way like. if you. actually did say that. my dog is any good i don't believe it was the well we do the whatever that use is already there we've got. it out of the last 5 york yo yo yo yo yo goes with a good as i want to that might get my head is that. you know you and i you know this so you can intervention is one of the few you know where you will see on the patient like this just within 24 hours you know and after 24 hours sees at least 10 years younger than she was yesterday that brings the life

brings to life you know the this milestone the author wrote here and i you know in a cycle of psychology and confidence and you see probably has a legacy expressed in the word. and a beautiful or today getting away from a deep sleep you know let itself say so yes but none of these villages here thought they'd ever see again. it's a new beginning. to an awful lot like in this it was a salon i was in my life so i feel like i've just come eyes of my mother's womb and everything is so clear i just want to do my work and roam in the fields i haven't been anywhere in the past few years but once again strength i would like to travel around. it's the end of dr joyce's month long training in nepal

she'll be taking what she's learned home to indonesia to the small island of nias wish to serve as the only trained eye doctor. it's a lot of pressure but she remains upbeat. and yes i'm happy to return to me yes apart from see my family i can also help the cataract patients in me as regain their eyesight. a few days later i also head for indonesia. i want to see how dr joyce is doing if doctors are having problems getting into nepal's mountains indonesia has 17000 islands are even more challenging it's why having a local eye surgeon is crucial. in that he has one of the highest rates of cataract blindness in the world with experts estimating between 2 and 3000000 people affected by the disease there's

been no official studies done here on this island but it's not just adults who are suffering from correct blindness and we're about to find out why. while altitude is a problem in the pool here is the ultraviolet rays reflecting off the water for a community that spends a lot of time in the ocean many are at high risk of developing cataracts. today dr joyce is conducting the island's 1st cataract surgery camp 2 of dr awaits former students have flown in to help. while cataracts are usually associated with older people we find children among the waiting patients at that but for cataracts in children there is a possibility to have it from birth or that depression mother suffered from malnutrition or fever contract of chicken pox but usually the cataracts don't fully

form until they're about 11 to 17 years old. the siblings are given something to comfort them in preparation for what's to come. it takes about 5 minutes for the anesthesia to take effect and then it's time for surgery. in the theater dr joyce is getting ready to operate on her 1st child patient. of the. 13 year old soul than tell him ban or is afraid of needles and hid the fact that he was blind in one eye but when he found out there was a free i camp he confessed to his parents that he had trouble saying dr joyce makes the incision but it's not easy to keep

a young patient calm. but it's soon over and solon is sent off to recover for dr joyce it's on to the next patient. the hospital that she's working in is extremely basic sanitation is a problem and there's a severe lack of medical equipment we found only one sterilizer. but fortunately with dr awaits technique you don't need much. and 264 operations are completed here in just 2 days. the next morning the patients line up they and dr joyce are about to find out if the surgeries worked. dr joyce's young patient souls and is now able to see in his right eye it'll take time before sovan fully recovers. my

mind numbing but. i have 5 can you say maybe one meter to see. you are long gone. i am. so numb and i feel happy and proud when my patients forgave their eyesight after alterations about her head from. 7 7 7 as this size luly key is the patient's begin to sing and dance it's been a successful 1st camp. from nepal to indonesia dr awaits vision is inspiring a new generation of doctors. with the surgery so simple and for many 3. they not

only restoring sight to the world's poorest they were storing hope. that was the gift of sight the story of an extraordinary man whose work changes lives well we return recently to naipaul to meet dr wrote again he's now working to develop community our hospitals to take the prevention of cataract the. i miss down to a local level. 5 is on my face seems completely full and sharp who lives in bomb in the foothills of the he mom yes. she's now in her mid seventy's and established in lebanon i was on treacherous roads for an eye test at the pentagon the hospital in come on to the

guy that. i've been doing that and juliet i'm going to get out of the building to go into. my care of them and know. what i'm talking about my so called the no no gun got my time. on the terrible loss and i'm going to die down by the sword like most of us up and i can see the confidence in our voice because he was so timid that time you know and i was his sort of feel areas and make fun and ok i know i could go to the united. i don't buy . that line about would have money that money can't have. and this was a kid with a. i was shocked and i know that again let's back it. that are a bit about it you're right it wasn't that you guy who. played it that i did.

that or that it will hurt i've done what kind of mother. although and site is clearly back she still needs glasses. for that but if you. add that number now that i'm going to get my saddle up. as mehlis performing surgeries dr drew it's hospital also manufactures then says in the last 5 years it's nearly doubled its production to around 500000 a year and his hospital has been recognized by the world health organization. a 5. month to santa dr drew it runs a community i hospital in moscow 100 district.

a team of 3 i talk to and support staff runs this hospital screening more than 300 patients every day and performing nearly 5000 surgeries a year most of them cataract surgeries like that of anglo. it's a model that dr who it says is easily jobs for 2 other developing countries where the initial investment of $2000000.00 over 3 years before the hospital becomes fully sustainable. this area is so short you comical situation the the window same same's. miller to us so double up a system here keeping in mind that we face these obstacles so such a system of eye care can very easy be replicated in other countries with similar challenges. and if his plan succeeds

thousands more will get the gift of sight just like anger. well that's it from rewind for this week for more from the series there check out the rewind page on al-jazeera dot com i'm elizabeth purana from the hotel thank you for joining us we'll see you next time. rewind returns with a new series. and brand new updates on the best of al-jazeera is documentaries if i would compare it to it onion we have in the onion the fleetest party so hard on this in the temple mount this is the old city rewind continues with motown to greytown being all here in the soil learning about health by eating good it's train my wife i can't imagine doing something else on al-jazeera. i don't deal with

on a road 'd in northern syria now let's put this in context the propaganda war 'd is escalating as this military offensive goes forward but interestingly enough those syrian rebel forces have issued a statement condemning what is seen in the video and promising to launch an investigation and also emphasizing how necessary it is for their commanders to make sure that atrocities or alleged atrocities like this do not happen. obviously these videos like this that are going to be watched very closely by members of the leaders in the international community that are opposed to this took ish operation as it has been no comment from the service government all right charles strive for that thanks for that. house charles was reporting dozens of people affiliated with eisel have escaped from a detention center in 9 after it was taken or shelled rather by turkish forces

earlier on friday the kurdish s.d.f. said families of eisel fighters attacked security forces in the howard camp while trying to escape hours later a handful of isis detainees escaped from a prison commission which the s.d.f. says was shelled by turkey well the syrian democratic forces or s.d.f. have more than $10000.00 deisel prisoners in detention centers across northeast syria several of them are located within the area that turkey is seeking for a buffer zone kurdish forces also operate camps housing $70000.00 women and children believed to be family members of ice and fighters many of those camps are within the buffer zone there are fears the camps and prisons could be overrun where kurdish forces may pull away from the facilities to fight turkish troops several of the cities have seen riots or escapes since the turkish offensive began ream

turkmani is the director of the syria conflict research program at the london school of economics and political science she joins us on skype from london good to have you with us so are we seeing the sort of i saw resurgence that some have been warning would take place. yes we are in the air and we've been warning about this for a mortar near the heart since the americans just are reduced to not back to the ground air and let. people who lots of repairs and souls isis have to re. environment so we should not only that it was what is the evidence of all that how do we separate perhaps propaganda by some of the kurdish factions who know the sensitivity of the world towards any resurgence of eisel from you know reality let's not talk about going back here and was there and was waiting to explore what

it was that time bomb we knew about the numbers of thousands of isis members and families being the team in this prison camp for more than a year our country should have taken responsibility this is not just the syrian procrit are is the effect on turkish muslims this is an international responsibility and we didn't have a national response it should not be looked as if or even turkey i mean there is a risk now that if turkey takes the area where you scams are turkey is going to use that again as a car to threaten europe just as it's using the syrian refugees and saying well if you don't do what i want to get open the borders that if you do some to europe i think what they're going to do next is to do exactly the same with the eyes of the members and i'm so sam really is the international community should act now this is not game this is not a camera form if it opens this is a camera of sportiness and it going to bite we reframe if i could jump in i

understand the political thinking or explaining i understand the risk explain but my question is are we actually seeing any evidence of an eyesore resurgence and if so what is that evidence. yes there is plenty off everyone this is new there and everyone says martin it would be i have to criticize this focus on isis as a brand we should be focused on terrorism and the way it's not that is i says those and have them help me arm terrorism. terrorist acts in this area after what i know who took this invasion is going to be things or the practice of the peace that forces is not quite at all from terrorism i have to say that it's outrageous that the reporter this missed the very clear videos off field assassination of men and women as could be approved but getting back that they're not but if i know who you're they've been saying we are. going to kill those people

it's that it is not often this is not that i know some of these people were assassinated there this is where you just say that we're really at war still in the city at this rate the kurdish figure i mean she is she's not confined to her she's not in to see if there's a her and they kill her on the spot people hear her voice in the video that they feel they feel their own rank and the purpose that this is a lot of work and that this is your isn't backed by turkey and it was a lot now is going to bring up new grounds of terrorism that's going to hit everyone all right we'll leave it there thanks so much into the lunch. plenty more ahead on the news hour including. a former prisoner or a professor to innocence decide between 2 political newcomers for president. the refugee camp it's turned dangerous bangladeshi security forces killed more than a dozen running the refugees. and it's for the hosts japan prepared to back
