“Cataracts cause nearly 50% of all global blindness. According to the world health organization, there are between 18.4 and 20.07 million people around the globe who are blind from cataracts and as many as 82.8 million who are visually impaired by cataracts. Untreated cataracts have become a global epidemic due to the lack of cataract surgeons and the quality of surgical outcomes. Experts predict that with pending retirement scheduled for many current eye surgeons around the world and with few new surgeons replacing them, the current crisis will become catastrophic within the next decade. The world needs a scalable, sustainable solution now to eliminate the cataract surgical backlog: a. High-quality cataract surgical skills training to meet the current and growing demand estimated 30,000 cataract surgeons required especially in the developing countries where there is an acute shortage; b. Promote the proven safe and affordable (usd 150 at current prices) as a generic cataract surgical procedure, manual small-incision cataract surgery (msics) to rapidly eliminate the backlog of at least 20 million cataract patients waiting for surgery. The mission of helpmesee is to train local cataract specialists in underserved communities to perform msics at a scale that meets the increasing demand for cataract surgical services in their communities. To achieve this helpmesee has introduced simulation-based training using high fidelity eye surgery simulators adapted from the successful experience in commercial pilot training to mass scale training of cataract specialists to the highest proficiency, ensuring both patient safety and quality outcomes. In addition to providing instructor-led, simulator-based training, helpmesee supports the qualification and practice readiness of cataract specialists to eliminate cataract blindness, in partnership with health institutions, governments, and significant philanthropic and market ventures.”
