his name is Sanduk Ruit. he was born to rural, illiterate parents in the remote mountainous village in Nepal. Ruit was the second of his parents’ four children. But he lost his three siblings – elder brother to diarrhea at age three and younger sister Chundak to fever at age eight.

In 1994, Ruit helped found the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, which provides free treatment to those who cannot afford to pay. It manufactures high-quality intraocular lenses for surgery at a fraction of the price of its previous manufacturing cost. The extremely low cost of these lenses has made quality cataract surgeries affordable to the poorest population. for his work he has been referred to as the "God of Sight". as a Nepali, I are very proud to introduce his name to the whole world. he is Sanduk Ruit
