14 year old Pablo had an eye condition which caused his corneas to bulge out in a cone shape, severely impairing his vision. Dr. Miotto of Exilaser reached out to HKIE as the parents were unable to afford a double eye surgery. Special rings were placed in his eyes. He is shown here post surgery with Dr. Miotto.

Also having surgery this last week was 5 year old Cristal. Before Christmas Cristal received a pair of glasses to take the strain off and improve the vision in her one eye. (Cristal's one eye was unformed at birth). The surgery last week was performed by Dr. Pablo Salamea and Dra. Mariela Siguencia to prepare her eye socket for a prosthetic eye which she will receive when her eye heals.
Cristal is shown reuniting with Jim Cory. Two children and two families who will have better lives thanks to our donors and the generosity of our doctors and hospitals.
