Overseas Work

The Eye Clinic has a strong charitable philosophy, and we believe in the provision of free eye care services to those in the very greatest need (the blind within poorer/developing countries).  Yearly overseas trips are made to Myanmar and India.

 

Burma (Myanmar Eye Care Program)

Commenced by Dr. Geoff Cohn at Wachet JivitadanaSangha Hospital, Sagaing Hills, Myanmar in 2001.

 

5 – 6 surgical teams visit Wachet, as well as other project sites in Burma each year.  Our team including Dr. Simon Irvine, Dr. Peter Martin, Sr. Barbara Roberts and Sr. Gill Grasso visits each September for 2 – 3 week interval.

 

We provide some 100 – 140 cataract operations as well as very many orbital and plastic surgery procedures each year, while seeing some 600 – 700 outpatients during our stay.  We support an ongoing eye care program at Wachet carried on throughout the year by our trained ophthalmic technicians.
