                                                      Regular eye screenings and glasses are provided in our Dominican based clinics.

                                                      Picture
                                                      The number one cause of blindness in Dominican children is crossed eyes. Island Impact together with Casa de Luz is solving the problem, one pair of eyes at a time making a lot of children very happy!

                                                      Cataract Surgery

                                                      Picture
                                                      Cataracts account for 48% of the blindness in the Dominican Republic.  Dr. John Mitchell is restoring sight to the blind through cataract surgery.

                                                      A New Look
                                                      Many Dominicans have lost eyes in accidents and have lived without a prosthetic eye.  A special team of oculist's  from Canada decided to change that.
