MIOPS initiates a social responsibility project and donates for cataract patients' surgeries.

With a 15-minute surgery costing only $75, it is possible for an African cataract patient to regain their vision.

A cataract is the formation of a cloudy screen over the natural lens which is normally clear, located immediately behind the colored section of our eye, but for any reason loses its transparency, becomes cloudy and impairs vision. According to the degree of the cataract in eyes affected by the disease, this can begin as slightly clouded vision, and reach a level where only light is visible. Cataract, the most common cause of blindness in the world, is a loss of sight that can be treated.

MIOPS, which will donate 5% of the sales revenues of the campaign period for the surgery of cataract patients in Africa through its online store,

will also directly transfer additional donations from its customers to this project.

Cataract disease, which is generally seen in the elderly in developed countries and causes blindness if not treated; It is commonly seen around the world due to reasons such as malnutrition, long-term exposure to intense light, eye trauma, as well as age. Due to technical and financial difficulties, millions of people lose their eyesight because they cannot have surgery and they continue their lives dependent on others.

Africa is one of the regions that cause many people to lose their eyesight as cataracts at a young age due to hot weather, nutrition and climatic conditions. When the insufficient number of ophthalmologists is added to this, many patients, especially in rural areas, are condemned to darkness without surgery.

CEO'S MESSAGE

As MIOPS, while helping photographers take the most beautiful and clearest photos with the products we have designed for more than 10 years, we could not ignore the patients with cataracts, who could be treated but had to live with this unclear vision in their daily life due to financial difficulties.

Of course, we will not have the opportunity to touch the lives of all patients in this situation, but with the support of our audience, we will be a light to as many people as possible, enabling them to look around with smiling eyes and raising awareness as much as we can.
