Vision Clinics
Vision teams give full eye exams and, when needed, provide glasses. At the clinic entrance, local pastors share the gospel; many accept Christ and request church follow-up. Patients get vision screening and prescriptions for reading or distance lenses as required. Our teams can sometimes examine up to 1,000 people in a day.
