The exhibition will include some of the final photographs taken by Michael Amendolia of Fred Hollows working in the field, not long before his death in 1993.

Other photographs from Brendan Esposito, Sandy Scheltema and Hanh Tran capture the inspiring stories of patients who have benefitted from The Foundation's continuing work.
