According to reports in local newspaper, Roshan Thing, 13-year-old boy was suffering from cataracts that developed 3 years ago when he was studying in the second grade.

According to the Kathmandu post, Ruit had developed a cheap method of cataract surgery which could be finished within 15 minutes.
