HelpMeSee has signed a 5-year agreement with The International Society of Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgeons (ISMSICS) to become a global sponsor of the Comprehensive Cataract Conferences (CCC) to promote safe cataract surgeries for eliminating the backlog of untreated cataract blindness worldwide. Organized by ISMSICS, CCC 2017 is currently underway in Chennai, India through December 3rd, 2017, with HelpMeSee announced as the global sponsor and active participant in numerous events during the 3-day conference.

During these bi-annual conferences, experts in cataract surgery from around the world will be brought together to share solutions for treating cataract blindness, covering the every aspect from surgical training and pre-operative preparation through surgical complications and post-operative patient care. By organizing these global conferences, the two organizations will work to promote Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) as the safe global standard to eliminate the backlog of blindness and visual impairment due to untreated cataracts.

This conference series will help raise awareness among surgeons and medical professionals about sustainable solutions which can increase access to safe treatment for cataract blindness.”
