GFV’s Indigenous clinics are designed to train and equip locals to conduct basic eye screenings and dispense readers, distance eyeglasses and sunglasses.

The program provides a simple low cost and low risk service to communities where these services are not readily available or affordable.

Robert Luqui, head of ICM-Liberia, participated in the dedication and will be returning to Liberia for the targeted launch of the eye clinic in early January.

The base kit which includes 2 Refraction Kits, 520 pairs of eyeglasses, bi-focal sunglasses and related supplies will be followed by several thousand pairs of readers, eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Present for the dedication were GFV board members: Dr Lizzie Brooks, Dr Vikarma Brooks, Dr Donna Elcock, Leon Elcock and John Elcock.
