I wanted to describe one dramatic case we had. We had a 26 year old young lady who had -13.50 sphere right eye and -10.25 sphere left eye with reasonable cylinder on both. Legally blind. (I'm attaching her printout). The computer found acceptable matches for her that were slightly weaker in the right eye and very close in the left eye. The second pair on the printout turned out to be her best vision, which tested at 20/30! She was elated, as was our team! To the left at the top of the pictures is a picture of her with our doctor (Chris Williams) and three of our team.
Last year on the first day of our vision clinics, we had a patient whom Dr. Chris diagnosed with previously undiagnosed cancer in the right eye. We were able to arrange through our local doctor liaison for him to be seen by an eye doctor at a speciality hospital, Dr. Chris was able to arrange a chemotherapeutic, and we paid for that as well as for his eventual surgery for the cancer. Our local doctor liaison brought him to our clinic again this year to show his amazing progress. Not only can he again see out of that eye but he is seeing 20/15 with prescription glasses we dispensed to him! I am attaching a picture of his eye from last year as well as a picture taken during his exam this year with Dr. Chris. Without the diagnosis last year, it is doubtful he would have survived till this year.
Thanks again for your help in making our clinics work! Without you and your ministry, we would not have the ability to do what we do. And I'm sure that our team is just one of many that is able to serve the Lord and His people in this way because of you and your ministry. Well done, good and faithful servant!
Blessings in Christ,
Jim Hall
