INTO
THE LIGHT documents the heroic work of volunteer Canadian ophthalmologists,
nurses and medical technicians who travel to the developing world to teach
eye surgery and perform miracles.
Working with the non-profit organization, ORBIS, sight-saving surgery
is performed aboard it’s “flying eye hospital”, a reconfigured
DC-10 aircraft. The ORBIS doctors also work in rural eye care clinics
and help establish Eye Banks throughout the developing world.
INTO THE LIGHT follows several Canadian doctors and nurses who took part in an ORBIS mission to Tanzania and Ethiopia in September, 2003.
