Photo Journal: Senegalese blind woman
Cataract clinic

As part of a BBC News Online series about people's daily lives, Nogaye Gueye, 58, describes the day her sight was restored after two years. There are more than six million blind people in sub-Saharan Africa.

They gave me the good news that the sight could be brought back to my right eye.
