After observing about 50 cataract operations in countries such as Vietnam, China, and the Muslim country of Azerbaijan, Hessel, now an international businessman with his consultancy Vintage Crown, is overflowing with enthusiasm about how a relatively straightforward operation can change peoples' lives. Hessel donates his time to Eye from Zion to restore sight to people in developing countries. He's seen cataracts the size of buttons removed from people's eyes.
Eye from Zion grew out of the vision of Israeli businessman Nati Marcus. With the help of dozens of Israeli doctors who donate their time and expertise, Eye from Zion has restored sight to hundreds of people. In developing countries, or those with less effective medical care, cataracts can lead to blindness. “Tikkun olam is the mission, this is the name of the game,” says Hessel, referring to the Jewish ideal of “repairing the world.”
