VISION-4-LIFE CLINIC
Al-Imdaad Foundation’s Vision-4-Life eye care clinic is located in the Sherwood area of Durban. The clinic performs screenings of patients from disadvantaged schools, old age homes and other areas where effective treatment may be difficult to obtain. Those failing the screening test are come to the Al-Imdaad Foundation clinic for a comprehensive eye exam following which appropriate spectacles are dispensed and eye care advice provided. This project addresses the critical need for eye care services amongst the poor and needy with a special focus on vulnerable groups. It aims to help address the long backlogs in the public health sector and the fact that many patients simply cannot afford or access to private eye care.
VISION-4-LIFE CATARACT CAMPS
In addition the Vision-4-Life programme also arranges regular cataract surgery camps with local and foreign doctors. Working in close partnership with the Department of Health, these cataract camps help to address backlogs on the public system resulting from a lack of available personnel.
