Eye Do It (EDI) is a non governmental organization in the field of ophthalmology. Our NGO is dedicated to the treatment of eye diseases in countries where the health system lacks sufficient capacity to do so.
We are 5 women passionate about our work in ophthalmology. All of us have in common the will to challenge ourselves and go further in our limits.
The main objective is to fight avoidable blindness. We are committed to:
Our association is funded by donations, which means we rely heavily on the cooperation and generosity of our supporters.
Our work is tailored to the population of each country we work in. The main pathologies addressed are cataract, glaucoma, refractive errors, trachoma and river blindness. We conduct 3 different types of missions: screening, surgery and mixed. In screening missions, the main goal is to flag patients in need of medical and surgical care. These can be performed by technicians and/or nurses and they are always followed by a surgical mission.
The visual acuities are taken, patients are dilated and a glance at slit lamp is made. If available, spectacles and basic medications are distributed.
Djoungolo Hospital, Yaoundé 10-20 March 2022.
The very first mission of our association took place in a presbyterian hospital run by Dr. Celin Nzambe. Our main goal for this mission was to conduct screenings of patients in need of ophthalmologic care, namely spectacles, medical treatment and surgery. As it was our the first mission in the field, it also helped us to shape our organization’s strategy Dr. Nzambe provided valuable input, which we greatly appreciated.
We will return in October 2022, to perform surgery and followup of the patients screened in the first mission (400 patients).
