IT WAS A ROUTINE 4 MINUTES OF PHACOEMULSIFICATION FOR US, A ROUTINE PROCUDE FOR US … BUT FOR HER THAT DAY SHE GOT A SONG TO SING AND A RAINBOW TO FILL HER LIFE. THIS IS OUR ENDEAVOUR TO ADD SOME COLOUR TO LIFE BY OUR SIMPLE SURGICAL EFFORT. WITH OUR SMALL EFFORTS WE TOGETHER CAN ALL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE BY ADDING THE SMILE TO MILLIONS OF FACES.
