  Welcome to Grey Mist Lifting!

  We named our blog Grey Mist Lifting because this expression – or words like it – are commonly heard in the clinics we support.

  Operation Eyesight Universal is a Canada-based international development organization dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness.

  Since our work began in 1963, we have brought sight-saving treatment to more than 35 million people. Today our work is focused on India and the African countries of Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and Zambia – places where blindness can be deadly, especially to those who are very young, old or poor.
