SAMOAVOSO has a long history of travelling to Samoa. Most recently VOSO has sent optometry only teams that, with the local eye nurses and the New Zealand trained local optometrist, screen for cataracts and other eye disease for the Pacific Eye Institute Surgical team that follows the following week.
In Apia there is a Eye Hospital where the optometrist is based and glasses can be made on site. VOSO has focused it's efforts on Savai'I, screening for cataracts and eye disease as well as dispensing glasses and sunglasses to those that cannot travel to Apia. |
