Help Fund 100 Cataract Surgeries at Rotary Eye Hospital, Dharashiv, India
In March–April 2026, I will be trekking to Everest Base Camp in Nepal — a demanding journey over 14–15 days, often involving 7–8 hours of walking each day at high altitude.
Having previously undertaken Himalayan treks, I have come to see these journeys as more than just physical challenges — they are also a way of building resilience, gratitude, and perspective. This trek feels especially meaningful after significant health challenges over the past two years, including a heart attack in April 2024, followed by knee and shoulder surgery.
As an ophthalmic surgeon based in London, I have seen how life-changing cataract surgery can be. During my visit to Rotary Eye Hospital, Dharashiv, Maharashtra, India, I was deeply inspired by the remarkable work being done to restore sight for patients who cannot afford treatment. Many continue to live with avoidable blindness simply because they do not have access to a straightforward operation.
Through this trek, I hope to raise funds for a cataract surgery camp at Rotary Eye Hospital, Dharashiv, India.
■3,000 (around £30) can fund one cataract surgery.
My goal is ■3,00,000 (around £3,000) to help restore sight for 100 people.
This fundraiser is also part of a Prayag Vision Foundation initiative to support accessible eye care for underserved communities.
If you are able to support this cause, I would be truly grateful. Every donation, no matter how small, can help change someone’s life through the gift of sight.
