VOSH Santa Cruz sent a team of 30 to offer a free eye clinic in Camana, Peru from May 4th till May 12th. We received 2,505 patients with close to 1,000 children and teenagers being screened and given appointments for the next morning. We had 10 exam rooms going and a large dispensing area. We were able to offer glasses to almost everyone, bringing back 9 prescriptions that will be made in Canada. We were there last year, so we have been able to receive 6,417 patients in 2 years out of a population of 16,000.
