I am the eye surgeon shown in the photograph. I am sorry you think this is experimental surgery or for practice. In fact, the surgeons who volunteered are among the most experienced and well trained in the world. Cambodia has only 8 fully trained eye surgeons. With a new resident training program that number will soon be doubled, and then doubled again. For the benefit of the Khmer people, and of all people. ( www.orbis.org ) No guinea pigs. Please get your facts straight, and help make the world a better place. Peace...
