Fiji – Cloudy Eyes (Photo-of-the-Week)
Cataracts cloud both of this woman’s eyes, leaving her effectively blind. Taveuni, Island Fiji. Photographed November 19, 2009.
I was working as part of a volunteer team doing cataract surgeries to help restore vision to people on the remote outlying islands of Fiji were these services would otherwise be unavailable (and unaffordable).

Big apologies my loyal reader for my extended absence from the web (and lack of posts), but I’ve had little to no internet access in much of The South Pacific, since I left New Zealand in October. But we’re back on the net, and there’s a lot more adventures and stories to come!
