Yassuf Mahid Haji (left), along with a group of men wait patiently for their eye patches to be removed by U.S. ophthalmologists. After the surgery, patients blinded by cataracts have to wear an eye patch for 24 hours in order to restore their eyesight. The surgeries were part of a Medical Readiness and Training Exercise, a U.S. Army Africa joint exercise to improve working relationships with Tanzanian and American medical providers and provide medical services to citizens in need of treatment.
