YSS Foundation – Cataract Care & Surgery Program

Restoring Vision. Restoring Dignity. Transforming Lives.

At YSS Foundation, we believe that clear vision is a basic right, not a privilege. Through our Cataract Care & Surgery Program, we are committed to bringing quality eye-care services to underserved communities, especially truck drivers, elderly citizens, daily-wage workers, and rural populations who often lack access to timely treatment.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in India. With early detection and timely surgery, vision impairment can be completely reversed—bringing back confidence, independence, and livelihood opportunities for thousands.
