# Cataract Surgery in Indonesia | Care & Support | WAN > Source: https://worldaidnetwork.org/eye-surgery/indonesia > Explore cataract assessment and eye-care support in Indonesia. Check programme availability, funding limits, aftercare and published evidence. Quick answer WAN’s eye-care programme includes Indonesia. Donations can contribute towards assessment, clinically recommended treatment and follow-up. No verified clinic schedule or country-specific delivery report is published here yet. Contact us about availability; funding and treatment depend on assessment, capacity and available resources. ## Looking for help with an eye problem? Start with an eye assessment through a local clinic or hospital. Ask what services are available, whether a referral is needed and which costs may be covered. Do not assume that a charity information page confirms a free appointment. ### When to seek urgent care Sudden loss of vision or sudden severe eye pain needs emergency assessment. New flashes, a shadow across your vision or a painful red eye also need urgent medical advice. Use local emergency or eye-care services; do not wait for a camp or a reply from WAN. [Read the NHS explanation of urgent symptoms](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vision-loss/) ## Local doctors and specialist support WAN hires local doctors in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia to perform surgery and arranges for a visiting specialist to support their training and review clinical practice. Care must take place within the relevant local licensing, facility and clinical-governance arrangements. Around £200 is a cataract surgery planning estimate supplied to WAN by consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr Mohamed Mohyudin. Actual costs depend on the patient, facility and included care; it is not a fixed price or a guaranteed result. [Mr Mohamed Mohyudin’s professional profile](https://mohamedmohyudin.co.uk/) Specialist training supports the local team; it does not replace responsibility for assessment, informed consent, follow-up and responding to complications. Visit dates and delivery reports are published only when confirmed. [Hospital partnerships and funding checks](/partner-with-us) ## From an eye concern to follow-up care These are questions to work through with a care provider. They do not describe a confirmed WAN appointment or an entitlement to free treatment. 1. STEP 1 ### Get an eye assessment A local eye-care professional can investigate vision changes. Community screening may identify a need for referral, but it is not a diagnosis or an operation booking. 2. STEP 2 ### Discuss suitable care Ask about the diagnosis, treatment choices, likely benefits, risks and alternatives. A qualified clinician decides whether surgery is appropriate. 3. STEP 3 ### Confirm access and funding Ask the provider about costs, local coverage and any assistance. WAN enquiries do not guarantee eligibility, a treatment date or funding. Availability must be confirmed. 4. STEP 4 ### Agree treatment and aftercare Before treatment, confirm consent, the facility, arrangements for getting home, follow-up and an urgent contact. The treating team gives personal instructions. 5. STEP 5 ### Record what happened Funding, treatment delivered and vision outcomes are different measures. Public programme reporting should explain the period, evidence and any gaps in follow-up. ## Finding cataract information in Indonesia PERDAMI, Indonesia’s ophthalmology association, publishes Indonesian-language cataract information. Its guide explains assessment, referral and follow-up. You can use it to prepare questions for a local care provider. Ask about the facility, the treating clinician, language support, travel and a follow-up contact. Advice about access to local health coverage should come from the provider or the relevant public service.

PERDAMI is an independent source; WAN is not claiming membership, endorsement or a delivery partnership. ## Locations and confirmed schedules ### No verified camp dates published yet This page is not an invitation to attend a venue or a confirmed appointment.

A gift is not an order for a medical procedure. [Compare how cataract costs are described](/cataract-surgery-cost) and [read the funding policy](/where-your-money-goes) before choosing an amount.

An introduction is the beginning of assessment, not approval of a partnership. [Explore working with WAN](/eye-care-partners) ## Questions about eye care and support Can I book free cataract surgery in Indonesia here? No. This is programme information and a donation route, not a booking service. Contact a local eye-care provider about assessment. Ask WAN about current programme availability; an enquiry does not establish eligibility or a funded place. How much does cataract surgery in Indonesia cost? Around £200 is a cataract surgery planning estimate supplied to WAN by consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr Mohamed Mohyudin. Actual costs depend on the patient, facility and included care; it is not a fixed price or a guaranteed result. Will a donation be used only in this country? The linked checkout supports the Gift of Sight eye-care programme across Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. A country page does not itself restrict a gift to that country. Contact WAN before giving if a country-specific restriction matters to you. Does cataract surgery guarantee permanent clear vision? No. Surgery can improve vision, but the result depends on the eye’s health and other conditions. Complications and later changes can occur. A treating ophthalmologist should explain the likely benefits and risks for the individual. Is Gift Aid available? Gift Aid is not currently available; future claims require HMRC recognition and eligibility checks. ## Sources and further information - [NHS: cataract surgery, assessment and recovery](https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/cataract-surgery/) - [WHO: blindness and vision impairment](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/blindness-and-visual-impairment) - [PERDAMI: Indonesian cataract information, 26 August 2026](https://perdami.or.id/web/public%5Feducation/detail/katarak-kenali-periksa-dan-pulihkan-penglihatan/51) Sources explain the subject; a link does not imply a partnership or endorsement of WAN.
