Today was busy for HKIE and Exilaser. We received a call early this am about a young boy from Gualaceo with severe eye pain. We told the family to come to Exilaser ASAP.Thanks to Dra Nataly Torres (and the crew) at Exilaser, we were able to get little 5 year old Alexis squeezed in for an exam. Dra Nataly diagnosed him with scar tissue on one eye and gave him drops for the pain. We will have a follow up on Monday with Dr. Miotto to determine if there is any damage to the cornea.
Also today Exilaser saw 15 year old Pablo. After his exam Dr. Miotto determined that he is in desperate need of surgery. His eyesight with the best corrective lens is 50% and Dr. miotto said that if left untreated his eyesight would continue to deteriorate most likely be total blind in a few years. CAN'T LET THAN HAPPEN, CAN WE?
Pablo is set for surgery on both eyes this Thursday. Then in 3 months he will need a follow up surgery to prevent any further deterioration.
Thanks to a generous discount from Exilaser and all of our faithful donors, 2 children will not lose their eyesight. Two very happy and thankful families!
