Mission ophthalmology report 2003, Ocotepec, Mexico

[cmsms_row data_width=”boxed” data_color=”default” data_padding_top=”100″ data_padding_bottom=”100″][cmsms_column data_width=”2/3″][cmsms_text]

Our new ophthalmology clinic, manned by Drs. Rosario Sanchez (Mexico), Judith Simon (U.S.), and Anthony Cabrera (Canada), nurses Kathie Lawrence and Joanne Farr, and student volunteers from the U.S. and Mexico, was situated in a building across the street from the main building.  Despite encountering a few glitches with the surgical microscope and in establishing a format for running the service, hundreds of patients with eye problems were treated and several cataract surgeries were completed in the operating room adjacent to the main eye clinic.  This group of volunteers experienced the joy of having surgical patients return the next day for their post-op check-ups thanking the staff for restoring their sight.  All three of these physicians have committed to returning to Ocotepec in August.  They hope for more ophthalmologists and for the donation of another surgical microscope in time for the next trip.[/cmsms_text][/cmsms_column][cmsms_column data_width=”1/3″][/cmsms_column][/cmsms_row]
