“Help me see inc., is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in the united states and abroad within the meaning of sections 170(c)(2)(b) and 501 (c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended. It is actively leading the fight against cataract blindness on a global scale. Its innovative training system offers a highly structured curriculum for physicians to learn the techniques of manual small incision cataract surgery (msics), phacoemulsification and surgical complication management for cataract surgery in order to provide successful treatments for individuals affected by cataracts. Simulation based training offers a wide range of benefits to both surgeons and patients, such as providing an environment for surgical training that is safe and controlled. Trainees can practice techniques with greater precision and accuracy since simulators provide detailed feedback on performances, helping to minimize the risk of complications and gain experience with complex procedures which are otherwise difficult or even impossible to perform on humans. Medical professionals can reach higher levels of proficiency in an ethical way without compromising patient safety or quality of care. Msics is particularly suited for low resource settings as it allows surgeons to treat most types of cataracts present in underdeveloped areas while still providing excellent visual outcomes with minimal investment. Well trained cataract specialists can provide low-cost treatment to millions of those who are cataract blind or visually impaired. Suturing training course was launched in 2022.
