Now, the doctor is eager to help spread his expertise and training in a country where basic medical assistance is still too costly for most.
“It's very important that we take this service to the community level at different parts of Myanmar and I hope the Ministry of Health will give us non-obstructive passage,” said Ruit.
The surgery can be a life altering moment for many of these patients, who have had difficulty seeing for years.
For Daw Tin Hla, simple tasks like pouring a glass of water and cooking would now, once again, be easier. “I am really happy because I have got my sight again. They told me to walk slowly but I didn’t. I am eager to walk very quickly. After the operation I feel free.”
While the first group of patients readjusts to their improved vision, the team hopes to train community doctors and paramedics to carry on the work.
