Another one of the programs that we do during the field service, is the eye clinic. This year we are working in conjunction with a local eye clinic-the Kissy Eye Clinic.
As with the dental clinic, there is a weekly screening on Mondays and the people of Freetown come and line up, hoping for help.
As with all our specialties, the need is far greater than the services that we are able to provide. We have to keep our eyes focused on the people we are able to help and try to refer the rest to local clinics. The problem is that for many, they cannot even afford the most basic of care.
