An estimated 150,000 people in Nepal are blind because of cataracts, but at the same time, Nepal has one of the highest rates of curable blindness anywhere in the world.<br /><br />One doctor in particular has been making remarkable progress in treating cataracts - and setting the example for many other developing countries, where 90 per cent of the world's blind reside.<br /><br />Sanduk Ruit, the Nepalese surgeon some call the "God of Sight", has removed 100,000 cataracts over his 30-year career.<br /><br />As the surgeon's mobile eye camp received patients at a monastery in Dharding, hundreds of people, most of whom had never seen a doctor before, had travelled for days by bicycle, motorbike, bus and even on their relatives' backs to get an appointment.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Subina Shrestha visits Ruit's clinic at Phulahari Monastery in remote Dharding, where at the end of the day, it is individual human experience that may be most rewarding of all. <br /><br />WARNING: This video contains graphic images that viewers may find disturbing.
