Michael’s Ethiopia Trip 2016

Michael spent two weeks volunteering with Vision Aid Overseas in Ethiopia last month. As many of our patients know, Michael does a huge amount of work for the charity both locally and internationally, and this is his 15th year travelling with them. Whilst in Ethiopia, he assisted in clinics in towns and isolated villages, prescribing glasses and diagnosing eye conditions. He also spent time training local Optometrists and Ophthalmic nurses. As ever, some of the food tasted and digs stayed in were ‘interesting’ but a fun and, most importantly, valuable experience was had by the whole team!

As ever, if you have any old spectacles lying around do bring them in to the practice where we can put them to good use with Vision Aid Overseas.
