IJRreview recently went down to Haiti and documented Dr. Rand Paul‘s visit to the country to perform much needed cataract surgeries for the poor.

While many of the Republican hopefuls attended the Iowa State Fair, Paul decided to use his time to not only perform free sight-restoring surgeries himself, but also to train doctors in Haiti on how to do the operations as well.

This the is the second time Paul would take time out to do pro bono eye surgeries for those in need. Last year he performed these operations in Guatemala while working with the University of Utah’s Moran Eye Center.
