Day 5: TGIF

Texas lingo of the day: a mess of, a group or unit of mass. "We're giving out a mess of glasses in these two weeks at clinic."


A great big thanks goes out to all our volunteer doctors, without their hard work our clinics could not be successful. We have 16 wonderful doctors working very hard to help this children get the best comprehensive eye care available.

Pictured above: the slit lamp has the ability to look at all the parts of the eye. In some cases we dilate the children's eyes to get an even better look. Our doctors are looking for things like injury, and cataracts.
As many as ten doctors are checking prescriptions at any one time. We estimate that more than 95% of the students we see here in Houston's 5th ward.
