Dr. Catalina del Portillo, a volunteer ophthalmologist, prepares to conduct eye surgery on a person suffering from cataracts as part of a two-day Surgical Civic Action Program April 27-28 in the small town of La Macarena, Colombia, located 170 miles southeast of Bogota. Cataracts are an eye disease in which the clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy opaque, causing a decrease in vision. The program is under the operational control of Special Operations Command South, based at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Fla.
