just wondering if the eye condition is due to genetic factor or is it more inviormental issue and nutrion, the country is very beautiful the gov is hell, but I reckon some issued should stay beyond politics, no matter what, this realy heart warming and I hope the docs personal stories would be published.

What wonderful and amazing people these doctors are.

even though iran refused help with their large earthquakes reflecting their mentality of hatred and even in the wake of tsunami Israeli help had to go in undercover. If only the nations could open their eyes and see that Israel is a blessing and a light-not without faults as they are human-corrupt politicians, but on the whole more pluses than minuses

Vitamin A deficiency is to blame for the widespread eye problems in Myanmar. http://www.unicef.org/nutrition/myanmar_29528.html The best vitamin A is from animal sources, i.e. liver, egg yolks, butter, cream, cod liver oil and fish. A diet of only grains and plant-based foods leads to the depletion of vitamin A which causes eye disease and blindness - not just in Third World countries, but also in developed countries where the "low fat diet" movement convinces people to avoid whole milk, cream, butter and eggs.

I don't know about the industry of food and how the gov works, I think it's very rich country in those and now Israel should go in campain for nutrion there as well, food got major factor but I think it's also got genetic influance since we have no idea how many people lives there and what their ethnisity.

It is nice to see that the tradition of saving eyesight continues. When Jews first came during the First and Second Aliyahs, Jewish doctors saved the eyesight of countless numbers of Bedouin children with the simple application of silver nitrate drops, which is typically done to a newborn. It saved the sight of thousands; I am glad to see the tradition continue.

How many Arabs were saved by the expertise of Israeli doctors, in Israeli hospitals, only to return with a knife or a bomb to attack the very people that saved their life. How about "palestinians" spend more time focusing on their own lives and children, rather than killing ours. Israel's door is open to all who want peace...which was fine in 1999 until "palestinians" thought it was better to slaughter Israeli women and children. Well - there is free will in this world, and you made bad choices.

God said through the Jews would be a blessing to all people's and nations of the earth. This article is just one exampe of this. It's just ashame some folks have to come on here and ruin an otherwise beautiful story with such ugly and unkind remarks.
