Many people in the village suffer from poor eyesight. Eye Doc in a Box will equip a layperson to examine eyesight and prescribe glasses. Training is free, along with 2 refraction kits offered after completing the training. The investment for the training and refraction/examination kit can be used repeatedly. Giving prescription glasses to those in need, will change their lives by resorting their physical sight. For more information on Eye Doc in a Box please click the link.
