The Casa Hogar Optical Mission Team needs your help. Every two years, we go to Lurin, Peru with about 30 volunteers and 7,000 pairs of glasses to give the gift of sight to people who cannot afford a pair of glasses. Our last mission was in February 2025. Among the volunteers are 5 ophthalmologists who give eye examinations to everyone coming to the mission. Some of the patients cannot be given glasses because they are suffering from an eye disease that must first be corrected. The most common is cataracts.

This Fund Raising is to pay for the surgery and post-surgery care for as many patients as we can. We have 28 referrals for cataract surgery, and the cost for a single surgery is about $900.
