Learn about our mission to cure cataract caused blindness in Costa Rice by clicking this link: 100Again.Org Jeffrey Levenson, M.D. is a board certified ophthalmologist and the Chief Medical Officer of SEE International. He is also the medical director of Levenson Eye Associates in Jacksonville, Florida. Jeff has an extensive history of volunteering with SEE, joining the organization in 2009. Since then, he has traveled to several clinic locations in Peru, El Salvador, and Mexico, providing free eye exams and sight-restoring surgeries to those who would otherwise not have access to proper vision care.

In late January, Youtube personality Mr. Beast posted a video in which he teamed up with SEE International to give the gift of sight to 1000 patients with blindness. KCSB's Clarissa Hom has the details.

I'm running TEDxSantaBarbara in 2017 with my husband Mark. Our committee is gathering to select the speakers for the upcoming event, and we're going through hundreds of applications. One particular application stands out with a bold statement. It claims that half of all blindness in the world is just a 10-minute surgery away from being cured. That's an idea that absolutely deserves to be heard far and wide. But is it real? Is it actually possible? To find out, we interview the doctor behind the idea and discover that not only is it real, but it'll change cataract surgery as we know it! We unanimously invite him to speak at our TEDx. And now, I've invited that doctor onto the Storytelling School podcast. In this episode, I talk with special guest Dr. Jeffrey Levenson about what has changed since his TEDx Talk in 2017, how one person who watched his Talk was inspired to fund 10000 eye surgeries, and the remarkable story behind his passion for affordable and accessible cataract surgery to all. He answers questions like: How does the rate of blindness in poor communities affect the story of those around them? What happened to him recently that changed the trajectory of his story and that of a thousand people (and potentially more)? What are doctors doing overseas for just $50 to change the story for blind people in poor countries (and is it happening in the U.S., too)? What you will learn in this episode: What the essence of a story is  Why you should never give up on telling your story What makes for the most impactful stories Who is Dr. Levenson? Jeffrey Levenson, MD is a Florida based eye surgeon and the founder of Jacksonville's Gift of Sight Program, a program that has for over 30 years assured that no one in North Florida is blind for want of a cataract surgery, regardless of their ability to pay. He's also the Chief Medical Officer of SEE International, a Santa Barbara based charity dedicated to the end of needless blindness around the world. He has spent the last ten years working around the globe to promote a re-engineered variant of cataract surgery that's less expensive, equally effective, and suitable to low resource communities. Half of all the blindness in the world is people who need a 10 minute surgery. It doesn't have to be that way. His TEDxSanta Barbara Talk points the way.   Links and Resources: Ending Preventable Blindness: reinventing cataract surgery | Jeffrey Levenson | TEDxTalk SantaBarbara 1,000 Blind People See For The First Time | MrBeast | Youtube SEE International Gift of Sight Levenson Eye Associates Storytelling School Website @storytellingschool on Instagram @storytellingSchool on Facebook

Chris Mairs: Tandem Bicycling Across America For Blindness   Chris Mairs is crossing the United States on a Tandem Bike traveling over 3600 miles in his 60 miles for 60 days fund raising adventure. A Line of Sight, that’s ALineOfSight.org.uk Initiative is to raise $40 per mile to assist 3600 people transform their lives with a surgery for cataracts. I posted a message from his blog page below so you can read all about his A Line of Sight fund raiser. Chris talks about his mother’s commitment to “No MollyCuddle” and how she prepared him and his siblings for the future. Chris talks about the ride and being blind and gives Transition age students some advice. Chris himself being a college graduate has also succeeded in business and his words are something to listen to. I did not know Chris before; however, I have been reading his blogs on the ALineOfSight.org.uk and have enjoyed his writings and humor. Chris and his team passed through Minnesota and I just had to reach out and believe me, I am glad that I got a chance to share a few moments with Chris Mairs. I hope you take a look at Chris’s A Line of Sight web page and help make a difference. Here is a note taken from Chris’s web site:   I have been registered blind since the age of 18 and turned 60 in early 2017. Although my condition, degenerative RP, is not treatable, I have been incredibly fortunate to live in the developed world. My education, my career and my personal life have all provided me with immense opportunities in a life that has been filled with pleasure and purpose. However, most of the 39 million blind people in the developing world are not so lucky. Blindness is an isolating and frightening disability with crippling economic impact. The family of someone without sight loses two incomes, one from the blind person themselves and one from the family member who becomes their full time carer. But the most common cause of sight loss in the world, cataracts, can be cured at a cost of only £30 or $40 per surgical intervention. I cannot boil the ocean, nor can I save the world, but with your help we will transform 3,600 lives.  On June 18th 2017 I am riding a tandem across America from Oregon to New Hampshire. By raising £30/$40 for every mile we ride, we will restore sight to 3,600 people through low cost, highly effective cataract surgery undertaken by our partner See International. Why 3,600 interventions? Two simple reasons: •I am pledging to cure 60 people of blindness for each year or my life so far. •This just happens to be the approximate distance from Astoria, Oregon to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Averaging somewhat over 60 miles a day, we will complete the ride in a little under 60 days, providing a perfect backbone for my 60×60@60 pledge. I am incredibly lucky to have 2 co-riders, James and Alastair, who will be sharing the front seat of the tandem. Alastair is in charge from Astoria to Sioux Falls, where he will step aside for fresh horses, a.k.a. James.   Thank you for listening.
