 Home Missions Mission Opportunities for Ophthalmologists and Optometrists Critical Mission Need: Supreme Task Hospital and Eye Care Center - India
Supreme Task Hospital and Eye Care Center - India Eye Hospital in India needs volunteer ophthalmologists and one A-Scan and one Auto Refracto/Keratometer. Supreme Task Hospital and Eye Care Center (http://www.supremetaskindia.org/) located in one of the poorest areas of India has a CRITICAL need. Due to the age of their equipment, they have a need for one A-Scan and one Auto Refractor/Keratometer. They are both very old, broken, and unrepairable. If there is a scope for an ‘in kind’ donation of used equipment it can be donated and shipped directly to India. Preferably, it is retrofitted for India current, but they will be able to accomplish it there as well. Otherwise, they request prayerful consideration for funding to be purchased locally, new in India. Goal: A-Scan and one Auto Refractor/Keratometer - $10,000
COVID is mostly over and travel to India is resuming unhindered. If you or others on your team would like to join them in India for a camp their India team would be grateful. Goal: Short term (1-4 week) Medical Mission Team to work alongside their doctors to provide surgeries for patients and assist in training local Doctors. With your support, whether financial, as a visiting team member of mission doctors, or by donating an A-Scan and / or one Auto Refracto/Keratometer, we believe area patients will experience God's love and together we can significantly increase the likelihood of impacting a neglected community with the love of Christ. If you would like to help, please contact us at info@christianeye.net.

MSICS Training for Surgeons
There is tremendous need for a very good cataract procedure where phacoemulsification technology is either not available or too expensive to provide to the masses that need surgery. Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) is the perfect surgery for much of the world: it is inexpensive, effective, produces minimal astigmatism, sutureless, safe, relatively quick to perform and is relatively simple to learn with good instruction. If you have an interest in doing medical missions in the future, strongly consider MSICS training. Our friends at Global Sight Alliance and Vision Outreach International would love to assist you!
