    Thank God he didn’t hang up on that call because what him and MrBeast did was a blessing for these people. MrBeast is using his income for good things and only more good things are yet to come. Thank you, Dr.

    Doctor Levenson is a terrific person and an even greater surgeon. He has replaced the lens in both of my eyes and at 82 I have great vision.

    This is a masterful presentation, but what is more impactful is the story of how Dr. Levenson and his peers are touching the lives of millions of blind people worldwide.

    I didn't realize! I just was told I have a cataract and it's getting worse quickly. I can't imagine being somewhere that this surgery isn't readily available. Though it's cost is prohibitive to me I can save to make it happen. I'm so thankful that people have taken matters into their own hands to provide solutions without corporate involvement and provide a much needed, low-cost resolution.

    Dr. Levenson has been my eye doctor for more than 30 years. He performed muscle surgery when I suffered from lazy eye after several other ophthalmologists told me my problem was not correctable. He has been treating my glaucoma for many years, and has saved my eyesight as a result.

    I never knew cataracts were the leading cause of blindness in the world but it makes sense based on this presentation. Would love to donate to this cause.

    Dr. Levenson is an amazing surgeon, so very knowledgeable in everything eye related, and such a wonderful, kind, caring, sweet, generous man. I've seen him for years. He's done 2 cataract surgeries on me. One of my cateract surgeries, due to previous eye trauma was not a "normal" cataract surgery. It required lots of "on-the-spot", fast thinking by Dr. Levenson. I am so grateful, appreciative, blessed, and thankful that Dr. Levenson was there doing my cateract surgery. He stayed so calm, knew so much, knew what other things he could do, needed to do-which other eye surgeons would not have been able to possibly know to do or find out in time. This cateract surgery required a lot from Dr. Levenson; yet, he with all the extra things he was suddenly faced with needing to deal with immediately, he was exceptional in so many ways. He not only needed to work quickly on his surgeon's end, but also knew, understand, and helped me on my end, which I needed. I know "his hands" were carrying a lot during all this. Yet, he under all this, was amazing. Dr. Jeffery Levenson preformed this very difficult, complicated, cateract surgery very successfully on me 💙. I still gladly am able to see him regularly, currently. He is the most capable eye Dr and eye surgeon I have ever been with, had eye surgery with, over decades. But more than this, he is such fine, respectable, honest, caring, understanding man. This caries over into all aspects of the ways he treats people, patients, goes above and beyond to help with all aspects of your eye care when needed, etc. I see him under my name, not shown here, but with his practice.

    Watching this after MrBeast’s video!!! On the same note, I have a boyfriend in the Philippines 🇵🇭 who’s blind. He completely lost his vision in 2020 due to a Tumour (Meningioma). I hope MrBeast and Dr. Jeff Levenson both can help my boyfriend when they do their mission in the Philippines.🇵🇭❤️

    Here is what I don't get. Yes, this Dr is a wonderful man and his passion on this topic is a joy to behold. But, why hasn't an eye drop been developed to eliminate cataracts? I don't understand how that route has never been developed/delivered. There are some videos on eye drops that work for dogs but when I pursued them, there was no available eyedrops for humans. Can anyone answer this? Thanks

    • @amelialouise8126
      @amelialouise8126 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do not believe this is possible to solve with an eye drop. Drips can do certain things, but this involves inner eye changes. For your own assurances. maybe ask a research eye sciencist, a qualified eye Dr., or pick a pharmatical co, and bagan there for good answers. I imagine if this were possible, a pharmatical company would have jumped on it for their revenue.

    It is a shame that so many cataract cases can be avoided by giving people effective sunglasses. Most of the cheap sunglasses sold in do more harm than good.
