Christian Vision Eye Services to Haiti (CVESH) are now seeking volunteer eye care professionals to come help their clinic. CVESH has been providing primary eye care services on the Christianville Campus in Haiti since 1986, when students from Indiana University made their original missions trip. CVESH provides a place for mission-minded Christian volunteer eye doctors and students to minster to the Haitian people.
We have trained and employee 6 Haitian nationals who support short and long term eye care professionals who volunteer at the clinic. Current services include eye exams, eye glasses through a Haitian optical company, medical treatment of basic eye disease and comanagement of systemic diseases with Haiti Health Ministries. Future services include an on-site eye glass lab (where eye glass lens will be made on site), and an ophthalmology surgery suite.
Currently, there are two optometrists who regularly travel to Haiti to staff the clinic. An ophthalmologist has just begun regular travel to support the clinic as well.
