Summary: A new nonprofit called Vision of Justice has been launched in Michigan to provide free cataract surgeries for uninsured individuals. Founded by Attorney Jason Waechter, the organization aims to address the urgent need for affordable eye care in Metro Detroit.

Vision of Justice is pending 501(c)(3) status and will collaborate with Dr. Walter Cukrowski, a leading eye surgeon. They plan to host an event in December 2024 to perform multiple surgeries for eligible Michigan residents facing financial hardship.

Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness, affecting millions of Americans. The nonprofit seeks to alleviate this issue by covering surgery costs, making the procedure accessible to those in need.
