COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES

Our community outreach days aim to reach low-income populations that lack access to eye care. We strive to reach remote locations and communities that face difficulties in accessing ophthalmological services.

Recently, we held an eye exam at Hogar Villa de los Niños in zone 6. The purpose was to detect possible visual problems. In addition, glasses were provided to those children who needed them. This initiative seeks to improve the quality of life of the children and support their educational development.

Likewise, our team went to the east of the country, specifically to the municipality of San Luis Jilotepeque in the department of Jalapa, with the objective of promoting eye health in the community and providing support to those in need. During this day, patients were recruited for pterygium and cataract surgeries.

Day for children with disabilities in Santiago Cubulco, a municipality in the department of Baja Verapaz. This initiative is of great importance because it provides an opportunity to improve the visual health and quality of life of these children.
