A close up view of a removed cataract from a patient during Readiness and Training Exercise. The surgery uses a suture-less cataract surgical technique known as Extracapsular Cataract Extraction, which is a low-tech, inexpensive technique used in austere operating environments. This cataract surgery was used during Medical Readiness and Training Exercise, a U.S. Army Africa exercise that improves the relationship with host nation medical providers and provides free medical services to local citizens in Zanzibar, Tanzania, that need treatment.
