Starting in 1993 with a poorly equipped eye clinic, CAMO has created a
state-of-the-art eye surgery center in Honduras that treats over 450 patients
a year. Sight restoring procedures, now available to the rural poor population
in Honduras, make it possible for entire families to prosper. The eyeglass
distribution program together with the surgical program provides improved
vision for over 1,500 people each year. This comprehensive program is one
of CAMO’s flagship ventures and demonstrates what can be achieved through
the counterpart method. Through a continuing relationship with an American
counterpart, Honduran eye surgeons are able to improve the level of care
they can provide to the public.
Ways You Can Help:
• Contact your local nursing homes or place a note in your church bulletin
