Hum's Story
 
Hum, 55 year-old man living in 'kvav‘ village, 40 miles away from Sotr Nikum Vision Center, had been suffered from presbyopia for about five years. However, he could not even think about to prescribe the glasses as he was not able to afford them. Now he can see the world again fortunately, since he got the proper glasses at Vision Center when visiting Sotr Nikum referral hospital to take care of his ill wife. "I can work, read some books, and help neighbors without difficulties because of glasses", he said.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sophil's Story

Sophil, 19 year-old girl travelled 35 miles from village 'varin‘ and finally arrived to Vision Center to get her eye checkup. She worried about medical expense so could not see doctor yet, even though she had difficulty to catch up school due to her poor eyesight. Recently she heard about Vision Center from the health volunteer in her village and decided to visit there right after that. "With glasses, I believe I can do my best on studying now. If you have any problem in your eye, please visit Vision Center and get relevant help!", she added.
