Abstract

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide and a major public health challenge, particularly among underserved populations in Indonesia. This community service activity aimed to restore vision and improve quality of life for underprivileged cataract patients through free cataract surgery provided by Lions Club Medan Angkasa and Lions Club Tebing Tinggi Royal in collaboration with Tebing Tinggi Police Department and Bhayangkara Hospital. The surgical camp was conducted on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at RS Bhayangkara Tebing Tinggi, in commemoration of the 79th Bhayangkara Anniversary. The activity included pre-operative screening, phacoemulsification cataract surgery, pterygium excision, and post-operative care. A total of 79 patients participated: 73 cataract cases and 6 pterygium cases. All surgeries were performed successfully by experienced ophthalmologists using modern surgical techniques. Post-operative evaluation showed significant visual improvement in 98% of patients. This initiative demonstrates the effectiveness of multi-sector collaboration in addressing preventable blindness and highlights the crucial role of community-based organizations in supporting healthcare access for marginalized populations.
