Nicholas has been such an amazing supporter of our cause! He was inspired to support SoH because of vision challenges experienced by close family members and he has become committed to the service aspect of medicine through his membership in a school club. Sights on Health thanks him for his enthusiasm to assist in providing funds for the upcoming May Mission to Riobamba, Ecuador…… way to go Nicholas!!!

Consider donating to help Nicholas reach his $4K goal!

Our mission concluded May 24, Sights on Health was able to perform a total of 78 cataract surgeries, 6 yag laser posterior capsulotomy ( removal of secondary cataract ) and 1 pterygium excision. These sight restoring procedures were done as part of this extraordinary 2024 mission to Peru In addition, we saw 250 adults and pediatric patients, and the medical team was able to help diagnose and treat a variety of illnesses and diseases. That’s over 325 lives we’ve been able to impact because of the Sights On Health team, the FNE International team, and the Asociación Wiñaypaq Pro Desarrollo Humano team. We have had a collaborative effort between our nonprofit organizations since 2012.

Many thanks to all of your participates and supporters!

Another day, another hundred patients seen! Today we set up clinic at el centro de salud in Urubamba. It is a fully functioning clinic within walking distance from where we are staying. As a group we provided an additional resource for medical and eye care. Ultrasound and diagnostic testing was relied on heavily today and provided much needed insight for clinical decisions. In addition to celebrating our success today in clinic and ability to help those in need, we also celebrated two of our volunteers’ birthdays today! We had an amazing meal as an entire group and enjoyed many laughs (and lots and lots of food)! Tomorrow we are off to Marás! ¡Buenos noches!

Location: Calca, Peru

By Kaitlin Monroig

Word spreads quickly in Peru! After a busy day in Calca yesterday, we saw almost twice as many patients today! However, we created a more efficient system for intake and were able to trouble shoot and problem we faced. In addition, our medical students shadowing physicians were able to focus on their history and physical exam taking skills. We saw everything from blurry vision, gastritis, musculoskeletal pain, to even more severe cases of bronchiolitis. The people of Peru have been very kind and understanding. We feel incredibly appreciative of their patience. Tomorrow we will be seeing patients close by in Urubamba!

Today approximately 230 patients were seen in the medical clinic and the eye clinic.

Lea Andreadis, a Junior at Harborfields High School, Greenlawn NY. has been collecting children’s prescription glasses and sunglasses for our organization this past year.  Our organization was fortunate to be the recipient of her service project for the National Honor Society. Above is a photo of Lea with her 128 pairs of children’s glasses. They will be neutralized and labeled by our optometrists, Drs. Leong and Raymondi and packed for Peru.
Many thanks Lea for helping give sight to the children in the Sacred Valley, Peru!
