Clinic day 1

Today was our first clinic day.  The team was up at 6:00am and eager to start. 


We got off on a late start because the power wasn't set up and we couldn't work the autorefractor, so the Optometrists decided to go ahead and do the manual method-Retinoscopy. 



The City Mayor and our host Nica had provided 1.5 local volunteers for each team member and we made up for lost time.  In the end we examined 407 patients in 7 hours.
 We saw many many happy aeta faces.  One aeta man in particular was very happy with glasses.

At the end of our day, we went into the Aeta barangay to give a gift of donated clothes and candy to the children.
