A RICKMANSWORTH eye surgeon is off to India to devote some of his time and skill to restoring deprived people's eyesight.

The surgeon is a member of Rickmansworth Rotary Club, which is supporting the charitable I-Care Hospital he will work at.

In the outskirts of Delhi some 10,000 cataract operations are provided to poor villagers in rural areas. Funds are required to purchase extra lenses and other necessities for this vital work.

To make a donation, call Jo Mediratta of The Rotary Club of Rickmansworth on 01923 824910.
