The First Optometrists

Optometry is not just about eye care. "It's a new future for our country," says Joel de Melo Bambamba. He and fellow student Suzete Guina are studying to become two of Mozambique's first optometrists. Their program is part of the Mozambique Eyecare Project, a partnership that aims to provide a sustainable solution to the problem of avoidable blindness. Learn more at mozeyecare.org.
