The Eye Glass Team in Lima, Peru

A challenge for many Peruvians is not only access to ophthalmological treatments to cure or prevent loss of eyesight but also the challenge of obtaining low or no cost eye glasses and sunglasses. The new and returning members of our Eye Glass Team will be able to distinguish whether vision is impaired for distances or reading; test for distance impairment with an auto refractor and fit Peruvians for reading glasses. Eyeglasses for both adults and children are needed as well as sunglasses for protection especially at high altitudes. Please consider donating new and used glasses. Money for supplies is needed too and your donations are appreciated.
