Summary
Maj. Marcus Neuffer, 455th Expeditionary Medical Group ophthalmologist, examines and compares the eyes of a 12-month-old Afghan patient in the Korean Humanitarian Hospital on Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, July 6, 2013. He recently completed a surgery on her right eye to correct a cataract. The girl had been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes in May. A cataract is an eye disease in which the clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy and opaque, causing a decrease in vision. The lens is replaced in surgery, without treatment a cataract can result in a complete loss of vision. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Staff Sgt. Stephenie Wade)
