The 4-day Sabah Mission For Vision Project held in Kuala Penyu was a huge success. It was the first SMFV project which utilized phacoemulsification technique as the main form of cataract surgery.
Approximately 1200 patients attended the eye screening. A total of 136 cases of eye surgeries performed; 96 phacoemulsification, 14 extracapsular cataract extraction and 26 pterygium excision. 4 private ophthalmologists from Kota Kinabalu spared their weekend and participated in performing the cataract surgeries.
The SMFV committees would like to thank all who have contributed to the project.
