Operation eyeglass"
Operation Eyeglass, an appeal to
Ontario students to donate old pairs of
glasses and frames, will mean improved
'vision for thousands' of Caribbean
children. An oculist will supervise
distribution. Because of limited optical
facilities, many West Indian children have
never had their eyes tested.
The operation is jointly sponsored by
the Georgian College of Applied Arts and
Technology, Penetanguishene, and the
Ontario Department of Education's
Special Projects Unit.
It joins Project ;School -to -School, a
twinning program for an' exchange of
projects between Ontario and Caribbean
students, and Operation School Supplies
which provides Caribbean students with
used furniture, books and equipment.
'' `'The 35-stird�efit$;` 'who comprise
Ontario's only optical technology class at
Penetanguishene, enthusiastically greeted
the opportunity to gain some practical
experience in optometry. They say they
want to become more closely involved
with the operation as it grows.
They will work on the glasses and
repair frames. For instance, they will
inspect each pair and identify the proper
lens densities and frame dimensions. After
they measure. these details, the optical
technicians will list them on a card which
will be attached to the frames for export
to the Caribbean.
Those who will benefit first will be
children on' Turk Island with a population
of 6000. Turk Island is north east of the
Dominican Republic. A request has been
made to the Canadian Medical Association
to appoint an oculist to • visit the island.
The CMA sends a doctor to the island for
three months each year..
ADULTS HELPED TOO!
Reg'Johnston, project coordinator, says
he hopes Operation Eyeglass will be a
continuing program. It will extend to
other islands : and possibly to the adult
population. To get the ball rolling,
circulars will be distributed to schools
throughout Ontario. Although the scheme
is aimed mainly at children, it is open to
--all interested citizens, similar to a program
launched by the Runnymede Lions Club
which sends glasses to India.
Already, Marian Villa in London,
Ontario, a home for senior citizens, has
49nated one carton con ly4g,w5O,4pairs of
glasses. The collection had been mounting
for years.
The administrator of Turk Island, the
Honourable R. E. Wainwright, has put his
full support behind the 'program. He's
promised full cooperation from schools on
the island. '4.
WHAT TO DO WITH USED GLASSES
After. many months , of planning,
Special Projects officials have handed over
the operation to the college which has
procured suitable equipment and facilities.
The students are the distribution agents.
They will accept glasses, lenses and frames
in any condition and of all sizes and
shapes.
Send them to: Operation Eyeglass; c/o
