Eye surgery patients. ÂPost-operative eye Âsurgery patients  returning Âto Âa medical Âclinic Âin Âa remote rural region of Kenya.  The Âpatients Âare from Âthe ÂSamburu Âand ÂMaasai Âpeoples.  At the clinic, the bandages will be removed and they will find Âout Âif Âtheir Âeye Âoperations Âhave been a success. Common and debilitating eye conditions in this  area  include  cataracts  and  trachoma infections, Âboth of which  Âcan  Âbe  Âtreated relatively Âeasily Âand Âcheaply, Âbut can lead to blindness if not treated. ÂPhotographed as part of work  by  the  UK Âcharity ÂMEAK Â(Medical Âand Educational Aid to Kenya).
