Of all the services we provide during PazSalud’s General Medical Mission, one of our
most tangible and rewarding happens in our optometry department. Our team of doctors and technicians
identify patients who have highly specialized and complicated prescriptions
that we cannot fill from the supply of donated glasses that we bring to
the mission. These patients are
given prescriptions, they select frames, and then our optometry volunteers take
them back to the U.S. and have lenses specially made for each patient. Then I get the fun job of delivering them; many who are receiving the correct glasses for the very first
time in their lives.
A very special 'thank you' to Walman Optical who so generously made and donated the glasses
and DeMeishah
Warren from PeaceHealth
Medical Group Eye Care whose determined efforts made it possible for our Comasagua patients to see the
world like they never have before.
