Christ the Healer - Eye Clinic |
| |
| |
The Eye Clinic was established in November 2002 as a free clinic to provide eye exams and glasses for the poor in the area. The clinic was equipped by donations from the Louisiana Optometry Association under the guidance of Dr. Jim Sandefur, Executive Director. The clinic has two examination lanes and one optical finishing lab. Approximately 250 ready to dispense reading glasses are kept in stock and several hundred pairs of uncut lenses and frames are kept on hand. We suggest that you bring your own TONO-Pen, retinoscope, and ophthalmoscope. Some equipment does not work perfectly. So be prepared to improvise. (Instructions for using the eye clinic will be provided in your trip packet.)
Hogar de Ancianos La Providencia is the new location for the clinic. The Clinic is served by Ophthalmologists plus Optometrists sponsored by the Louisiana Optometry Association and Opticians from the Louisiana Association of Dispensing Opticians. Approximately 300 patients are treated during each mission. |
