Ruit is an eye surgeon from Nepal and he is fixing one off the biggest problems in the world.

Our eyes.

You don't know this, but our eyes get cataracts on eye disease that effects 90% of us 90%.
-
By age 65 our vision gets blurry and with time everything goes dark and we can go blind.

People all around the world can barely drink, barely walk and barely see because off cataract does the salmon do local Come look.
-
And that's where Dr Ruit comes in.
-
He went on a mission to treat cataract in people who can't afford it.
-
Normally, a cataract cost $200 but he invented a way to treat can Iraq that costs only $3.
-
And for this price he was able to go around the world and give treatment to people for free.
-
I very strongly believe if we can do it in Nepal, way can do it anywhere in the world.
-
In the remote villages, he would rent an empty hall and turn it into Ah hospital.
-
Hundreds and thousands of people come out to get treatment.
-
Many off them are poor and blind.
-
Many of them couldn't get a doctor before and in five minutes he treats their eyes and gives them back their vision.
-
I'm happy.
-
Do you know the fact is, when you sit in the chair there, you realize that you have been given an opportunity, a privilege to make a difference and not only I but in the life of that person.
-
All it takes is five minutes to treat lifelong blindness and $3.
-
You can see the joy in our face.
-
You know, give her enough vision to more around could never get around, do most of the things alone Dr.
-
Ruit went all around the world cheating people in China, in Nepal, in India and even North Korea.
-
So far, Dr Ruit personally treated 100,000 people.
-
He is the first thing people saw when they got their vision back.
-
That's why you got the nickname the God off site.
-
One of my sister, young love was younger to me, very close to me.
-
And when she died at the age of 15 that really triggered me to think.
-
And I thought that medicine is probably a branch where I can help people like my sister from all over Nepal.
-
People like Dr Ruit are not just the gods off site.
-
They are the reason humanity is beautiful.
