Fred Hollows worked with and trained many people. From 1976-1978, the National Trachoma and Eye Health Program (NTEHP) was carried out by hundreds of dedicated eye health personnel, including Fred Hollows as Director and Gordon Briscoe as Deputy Director. Nepal's first Lama ophthalmologist, Dr Sanduk Ruit trained and worked with Fred. Dr Ruit had a special friendship with Fred Hollows. They both shared the same outlook on life, medical philosophies and vision - of a world where no one is needlessly blind. Dr Ruit and Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology are still an important partner to The Fred Hollows Foundation.
Professor Fred Hollows was an Australian Ophthalmologist who believed in a world where no-one was needles.sly blind. Seventy five per cent of all bli.ndnes.s in the world is avoidable. Ninety per cent of these people live in developing countries where access to eye health services is often lacking a.nd wher.e even .a relatively inexpensive cataract operation (that can cost as little as $25 according to The Fred Hollows Foundation) is out of financial reach. . Fred Hollows did many great things, but among the most important was the develop.ment of low cost intraocular lens laboratories in Nepal and Eritrea. An IOL (the lens i.nserted during cataract. surgery) used to cost hundreds of dollars to manufacture, pushing cataract surgery beyond the reach of most in the developing world. The laboratories that Fred began now manufacture lenses for around $5-8US each, significantly lowering the cost of surgery. Over 3 million lenses have been manufactured and exported to around 40 countries. Fred Hollows was given the Australian of the Year award in 1990. In 1993 he died of cancer not before travelling to countries such as Vietnam and Nepal to train doctors. He was a very special human being. He dedicated his life to save others lives and sights. Fred Hollows left behind a legacy nobody will soon forget.
