Fred Hollows

ACHIEVEMENTS
In 1960, Fred got a job in Australia.
Five years later he was head of the Eye Department at a Sydney hospital.
In the 1970's, he helped launch a national program to attack eye disease in Aboriginal Australians.
It treated 30,000 people, performed a thousand operations and prescribed more than 10,000 pairs of glasses.
Fred Hollows became to be known as the 'wild colonial boy' of Australian surgery"Each year in Africa about two and a half million people go blind...and they just go blind...they sit around in their huts."

This became Fred's passion. He wanted to help the Eritreans build their own eye lens factory. He asked Australians to support his dream. They donated more than 6 million dollars.


TURNING Points
Fred’s family was religious, and Fred thought he'd like to be a missionary, but he changed his mind after doing some work at a mental hospital. Fred decided to become a doctor and eventually specialise in eye surgery.
He discovered that almost all Aboriginal people in outback communities had eye diseases.
