REA completed its Annual Surgical Mission 2018 in

two phases.

We had quite an international team from USA, Bahamas, Jamaica, Guyana & Haiti consisting of 3 Ophthalmologists, 3 Optometrists, 1 Optician, 3 Nurses, 5 Ophthalmic Technicians and 6 additional support personnels.

Phase 1: From the 13th to 21st of October,

28 surgeries performed with surgeon Dr. Purdy’s team from Indiana and Dr. Decastro’s Team from Port-au-Prince.

Phase 2: From the 8th to 15th of November,

19 surgeries performed by Dr. Decastro’s team from Port-au-Prince.

In addition to the cataract, ptygerium & eye trauma surgeries we performed comprehensive eye exams & treatment to an additional 250 patients providing medications, sunglasses, reading glasses and ordering prescription eyeglasses for most of the patients.

REA is thankful for a year ending that can be deemed a success in caring for the eyes of the Less Fortunate. Our Vision Clinic in Haiti is open 3 days per week with a local Haitian team led by Dr Jimmy Beausoleil.

Celebrating 11 years in the Mission Field, thank you to our visiting partners; congratulations to our Haiti local team; to L’Eglise de Dieu Reformee Hospital leaders & staff and to everyone reading this report; remember it takes each one of us to make another year of Helping People to  See Clearly!
