NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Cataract surgery gave 12-year-old Lillian Pravda the gift of sight, and she’s since made it her mission to help other others who need eye surgery, through a foundation she started three years ago.
“If I didn’t have that surgery, didn’t take care of it, I would be blind in my left eye,” Pravda told CBS 2′s Christine Sloan on Thursday. “It occurred to me when I was 9 that a lot of people around the world didn’t have the same access as I did.”
