The beginning of many enriched life stories!
We are THRILLED to share with you photos from the very first eye* surgery completed onsite at the Clinic using its new state-of-the-art equipment! We are truly thankful to the nonprofit organization Iris Mundial, which supplied the equipment and has supported the Clinic's vision program in many ways, and to our donors for their faithful support of the Clinic. Congratulations to the talented team in Terrier Rouge, led by Dr. Marie-Carmelle Lucien-Guerrier, on this achievement!
A dedicated medical team performed the Clinic's eye* surgery, including Dr. Bendson Louima. The capacity of the Clinic to perform this type of surgery is the result of the support of the organization Iris Mundial and others. Please enjoy this video made by Dr. Louima himself about the surgery and the support for the eye* surgery project. This is an amazing new chapter for the Clinic, and we are so thankful to the many donors, whose support made the creation and continued operation of the Clinic possible.
*We had inadvertently reported this eye procedure as a cataract surgery; however, the complex surgery that was performed was a pterygium excision and graft to cure pterygium (surfer's eye)
