EYE HEALTH
Growing Haitian capacity for eye care from our medical mission roots.
Nearly 5,000 vision screening and 400 sight saving surgeries have been performed in the Thiotte area and surrounding communities of the Belle Anse arrondissement by HMMW volunteers and Haitian eye health providers.
With support from HMMW, Haitian ophthalmologist partner, Dr. Ritza, has been offering mobile eye clinics and ophthalmology care in the Thiotte area since 2018. Patients have access to vision screening, diagnosis and treatment, as well as corrective lenses and sunglasses.
CSST boasts a designated room for clinic-based eye health care. Established and equipped by generous donors, on-going eye health services are supported through HMMW’s Evelyn Bakke Eye Fund.
