Book Review of Second Suns: Two Doctors and Their Amazing Quest to Restore Sight and Save Lives

Second Suns: Two Doctors and Their Amazing Quest to Restore Sight and Save Lives
northee avatar reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


This story tells the amazing accomplishments of two dissimilar doctors. There is nothing that compares to the quick results of cataract surgery, where the patient not only recovers, but has the best sight of his or her life, the next day!

Now, think about bringing those miracles to the poorest areas of the world, and being the doctors that found their purpose there. The book mentions that there may be no one on earth doing more good, and it is a legitimate claim.

The story takes on a little more interest when I found out that the author, who wrote so impactful about the good works of these doctors, took his own life in his 50's.
