A GIFT OF.VISiON
By Christie McLaren
Hundreds of cast-offeyeglasses and a
Canadian eyetesting machine that bridges
language barriers have enabled two Ontario
doctors to give clear vision to about 550.
Mexican villagers who had never . seen an
eye doctor.
Old women who thought they were going
blind and young children vAio had never
seen properly were astounded when they put
on glasses, Arlene Hackner, .a Port Perry,
Ontario, optometrist, said in an interview
yesterday.
"Some of these older ladies hadn't been
able to do any handicrafts for 20 years," Dr.
Hackner said. "They pat on their glasses
and they were just so excited that they could
start back to sewing again."
Severalchildren had quit school because
they couldn't see, she said. One very short
sighted little girl, apparently amazed at the
world that fell into focus when she tried on' a
pair of glasses, burst into tears when they
were taken off : so that she could try a
different pair.
Although the tiny, villages of Chapala and
Ajijic are only about 30 miles from
Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city, it
seems that no one ha., 'treated the people's
eye problems, Dr. Hackner said:
An average annual income of less than
S300 coupled with . bad roads means "30
miles might as well be 1,000 miles to them."
Dr. Hackner, 27, and her colleague,
optometrist Shirley Kovacs, 26, of St.
Thomas, Ontario, spent two weeks on a trip
to the two village's paid for the Ontario
Teachers Federation and the 1Canadian
Foundation for World Development. (The
trip cost close to S1,500.)
The area was chosen after John and
Patricia Lychek, a retired Canadian couple
living there, became concerned about the
children's eyeproblems and informed the
OTF.
"When the people heard aboutthe
doctors being there, they started flocking in
from the countryside," Kenneth Davis, a
Toronto businessman and president of the
world development foundation, said in an '
interview.
About 1,300 people were tested with a
simple machine developed several years ago
by Ellis Shenken, a Scarborough .eye surg-
eon.
With the machine, "it doesn't matter how
illiterate people are - in a very, very few
