In the 10 years since Fred Hollows died, The Fred Hollows Foundation has continued his pioneering work to help bring sight and better health to the disadvantaged. To mark a decade of The Foundation, journalists and photographers from the Age, Sydney Morning Herald and Sun-Herald visited its health and eye care programs in Australia and overseas - to meet those who run them and the people they seek to help.

Through Other Eyes is the result. It is filled with inspiring accounts of the blind seeing again, stories of committed individuals working ceaselessly to achieve first-class eye care in some of the most difficult conditions imaginable, and offers Frank, often controversial comment about The Foundation. The contributors also tell of their own experiences as they adjusted to life in South Africa, Eritrea, India, Nepal, Pakistan, the Pacific, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and outback Australia.

This is a compelling testimony to dedication, and the courage shown by healers and healed alike.
