Last October, as one more project activity that supports the Center for the Disabled in Dakhla (Western Sahara)<\/a>, which is funded by Cor Unum, two opticians and one ophthalmologist visited the Centre for the population eye revisions.<\/p>\n

This has been possible thanks to the collaboration of Cione Route of Light Foundation, whose mission is to help disadvantaged people in improving their visual health.<\/p>\n

So, for a week, professionals traveled to Dakhla and performed voluntarily revisions to 520 people, paying special attention to children, and more particularly to those with special needs who are cared at the Centre and those who came from the schools with classrooms adapted for deaf and dumb students.<\/p>\n

According to the volunteers, for the vast majority of these children, this was their first eye examination, and consequently, those in which myopia was detected may wear glasses for the first time.<\/p>\n

Revisions among adults were also performed, choosing from among the large group who attended people with fewer economic resources.<\/p>\n

Following this visit, and being the needs identified in the workshops of Cione RdL Foundation, about 200 spectacles will be mounted and sent to the Association of Disabled Dakhla for distribution to the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n
