Operation Sight Operation Sight, the Foundation's U.S.-based charitable cataract surgery program, serves financially vulnerable, uninsured Americans who cannot afford or access care. Operation Sight has delivered over 6,000 surgeries through a nationwide network of 500+ volunteer surgeons committed to caring for patients in need. International Humanitarian Eyecare and Education The ASCRS Foundation seeks to address individual cases of cataract blindness at the root cause: the shortage of eye surgeons in the developing world.
