(Israel21c) Abigail Klein Leichman - During August 15-23, 2017, medical volunteers with Israel's Eye from Zion held an "eye camp" at three locations in Kenya. They received 723 patients, performing free treatments and surgeries - 85% to remove cataracts and 10% to correct astigmatism. Participants also laid the groundwork for an advanced eye clinic at Chuka Regional Hospital. Eye from Zion and Israeli medical equipment supplier Alpha Net donated surgical and lab equipment and medications for the mission and for the clinic. Two Kenyan medical officers were trained to use the equipment and the hospital's technical staff learned how to maintain it.
