We are pleased to let you know that the YAG Laser arrived safely at San Pedro Hospital in early October. This essential piece of equipment is present in all ophthalmology practices in the USA, yet there is only one other available in the entire public hospital system of El Salvador.
In a procedure that takes only minutes, the YAG permanently corrects the blurred vision that is a common complication of post-cataract surgery. The YAG also provides a vital tool for the treatment of glaucoma and retinal problems. Izote raised $10,000 and cleared many hurdles to provide this equipment.
Many thanks to the Izote community for your donations and support!
