'Without the NHS, I would have gone blind.'
A retired banker from Hamilton is celebrating his successful fight to save his sight and his 40 years of helping others through their visual impairments across the world.
The fight to save his sight prompted the ex-banker to give back to the charities that help millions across the world receive eye surgeries like his."I feel so blessed and privileged that I received treatment just in time. Without the NHS, I would have gone blind. The staff in Glasgow are outstanding.”
A new ‘eye safari’ was launched by MAF in January 2022 and transports eye specialists every quarter to perform life-changing operations including cataract surgery for remote and nomadic communities. His volunteer work for the international charity has allowed to Iain to pursue one of his other passions, aviation. Most recently he recalls meeting hundreds of people at Bothwell’s infamous scarecrow festival in South Lanarkshire, where he helped MAF display a light aircraft and flight simulator.
However, the highlight of his days with MAF is the simulator demonstration. Iain lives out his piloting dream to demonstrate the skill and precision required by MAF pilots – who land on some of the world’s most challenging, rural airstrips.
