During the surgery, the modern Phaco eye surgery technique was applied so that the patients suffered less pain and the bandage can be removed after a few hours. Patients were also offered free meals by the Caritas under Co Nhue parish at the charity program.
Lens replacement eye surgery is one of the practical charity programs launched by the Caritas Hanoi for many years in order to bringing light, health and joy for disadvantaged patients.
