Channel Nine’s flagship current affairs program 60 Minutes recently featured the continuing work of Professor Fred Hollows and his Foundation - as seen through the eyes of journalist Ray Martin and Fred’s son Cam Hollows.

Fred’s Vision - as seen on Channel Nine's 60 Minutes program.

How do you live up to a legend?

Fred Hollows gave the gift of sight to millions of people, curing the blind and teaching others how to carry on his work.

When Fred died 18 years ago, his family vowed to honour his legacy, setting up eye clinics around the world.

Now, son Cam is following in Dad's footsteps. Ray Martin has just spent some time with Cam in Vietnam where he's volunteering his medical skills to help the blind and the broken.

Ray was a good mate of Fred's and he reckons the old man would be mighty proud.

Help keep Fred’s dream alive.

4 out of 5 people who are blind in the developing world don't need to be. Routine treatment costing as little as $25 can restore sight and hope.
