They can’t see, but we have all the technology to fix it. - MrBeast
Surgeon: Yep, half of all the blindness in the world is people who need a 10-minute surgery. - Dr. Jeffrey Levenson
If u are wondering how the surgery allows people to see again. It's because the lens in their eyes got so cloudy that they can't see through it. So the surgeon uses a tiny vacuum to suck up the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial one. - MrBeast
So not only we are helping people in America, but we are also going to other places around the world. Because, unfortunately, nearly half the population with curable blindness, doesn't have access to this surgery. So I wanted to provide this to as many people as possible from Mexico, Honduras, Indonesia, Brasil, Vietnam, Kenya, and Jamaica. - MrBeast
MrBeast helped 1,000 not only from the US but from 7 other countries, by paying for their eye surgeries.
