The Lake of the Woods District Hospital hopes to shorten
wait times in the region for cataract surgery.
Chief Executive Officer Marc Balcaen says they should
have the equipment in place by mid-June, and surgeries
will be scheduled for the first week of July.

The waiting time for cataract surgery in Winnipeg is
currently 6 to 12 months, Balcaen estimates wait times
will be much shorter in Kenora.
The Kenora and Rainy River Lions Club are in charge of
fundraising for the equipment, which costs over a quarter
if a million dollars.
