Clinic for Those in Need

On March 20, Hawaiian ily Foundation, Project Vision
Eye Center was honored to Hawaii and Hawaiian Eye
be able to give back through Foundation. Twelve patients
the first annual Cataract suffering from cataracts and
Days program presented lacking the means to get
along with the Atherton Fam- treated—homeless, poor,
uninsured or under-insured—
were selected to receive no-
cost treatment at our
Wahiawa clinic.
More than 24 million
Americans suffer from cata-
racts, according to Prevent
Blindness America and the
National Eye Institute.A
cataract occurs when the
normally clear lens of the eye
starts to become cloudy.
Light necessary for the
retina to process images is
blocked and distorted.If left
untreated, cataracts worsen
over time and can lead to
blindness.
A big mahalo to all our
patients and sponsors!
