Prevalence to blindness in Indonesia is the highest amongst Asian countries amounting to 1. percent of the total population 53 percent of those are caused by cataract. That is 2 million people suffering from cataracts all over the country. Still, this number rises constantly due to the backlog phenomenon: where new cases of cataract pile over the old untreated ones. It then leaves a staggering 240.000 novel cataract cases every year. In response to that, Dr. Vidyapati Mangunkusumo, OPH. was compelled to take part in reducing the number of cataract blindness in his home-country. One of the volunteer work that he did was by offering free cataract operations. His love is felt where-ever he was present, shining his light to thousands others. Terjemahan Prevalensi kebutaan di Indonesia paling tinggi di antara negara-negara Asia yaitu sebesar satu persen dari total penduduk, 53 persen di antaranya disebabkan oleh katarak. 53 persen tersebut artinya terdapat 2 juta orang yang menderita katarak di seluruh negeri. Namun, jumlah ini terus meningkat karena fenomena backlog: di mana kasus katarak baru menumpuk di atas yang lama tidak diobati. Kemudian meninggalkan 240.000 kasus katarak baru yang mengejutkan setiap tahun. Menanggapi hal tersebut, Dr. Vidyapati Mangunkusumo, OPH. Terpaksa ikut andil menurunkan angka kebutaan katarak di negara asalnya. Salah satu kerja sukarela yang ia lakukan adalah dengan menawarkan operasi katarak gratis. Cintanya terasa di mana pun dia hadir, menyinari ribuan orang lainnya.
