Dr Jay Chandra celebrated the 10th anniversary of his organisation The Fiji Eye Project in July 2015. “We have now operated on close to 1000 cases from 2006 to 2015. Almost 85% of the cataracts were operated on by the modern technique of phacoemulsification with rapid recovery of visual function,” Dr Chandra said. In his years of volunteer work, Dr Chandra said there have been many special moments. He recalled operating on one patient who only had light perception vision in both eyes due to bilateral hypermature cataracts. After surgery, she saw her two grandchildren for the first time. “Her tears of joy moved us all,” he said. 8 I THE NSW DOCTOR I MARCH/APRIL 2016
