(The first gives cataract surgeries for one 20,000th the price the second gives guide dogs.)

How is that the price ratio? Are the cataract doctors all volunteering their time? Are dogs astronomically more expensive than I think they are, or are there no volunteer seeing eye dog trainers to be had...?

The cataract doctors are in third-world countries where labor is cheap.
