How LSH helps Restore the Gift of Sight
Sight- Do you need surgery to restore your sight?
- Is the cost stopping you?
If you need surgery to correct a problem with your vision and the cost is preventing you from solving the problem, we may be able to help. LSH funds critically needed treatment to help restore sight for people in our service area who lack the income and/or don’t have adequate insurance coverage. Though cataract surgery is most common eye issue we help fund, we do help with other eye issues, including retinal detachment, retinal tear, surfer’s eye (pterygium) and gas bubbles on the retina.
