Help Provide an Eye Exam for 1 Patient
$25.00
Most people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to something as simple as a traditional eye exam. A simple exam can mean the detection and potential removal of cataracts, as well as simple corrective lenses for those who need them.
Can you read this line? A child with untreated congenital cataracts cannot. In fact, it’s very possible that he has never seen his mother’s face. Cataracts are the most common cause of preventable blindness in developing countries. A fifteen-minute surgery onboard our hospital ship can restore sight and hope.
Many eye diseases and conditions are highly treatable, and even preventable, with proper medical intervention. Mercy Ships works on your behalf to treat them all.
