rking. ile ¢ red 2 o resic Students study vision problems in Jamaica Chronicle staff writer While I University of Waterloo â€" the studen Optometry Professor Dr. busy duri Raymond Peliowe recently emphasize returned from six days in â€" fits stemn Jamaica. But instead of vaâ€" perience. cationing in that southern _ learned h« paradise, Dr. Pellowe was sion tests ile on the island, he deâ€" red 260 pairs of glasses o residents with vision problems. The glasses were prescribed by a team of UW students who visited the isâ€" land during the summer, and spent a month conductâ€" ing more than 1,500 eye exâ€" aminations. This was the first time since 1976 a team of UW opâ€" tometry students has visited the Caribbean. Before ©76, the Canadian Internation Development Agency supâ€" ported such visits every year. But the CIDA has since changed its priorities and no longer subsidizes the trips. This year the project was iated by Lions clubs in aica, according to a UW ess release. The clubs joined forces and raised the air fare for the three stuâ€" dents who formed the eye examination team. The clubs also provided lodging for the students for a month and a supervisor. Jamaican authorities are concerned, according to the release, because no vision care is available on many parts of the island, especialâ€" ly for lowâ€"income groups. Statistics indicate that in reâ€" cent years there has been a reduction in the number of health care experts availaâ€" ble throughout Jamaica. The Waterloo students spent their time in and around the communities of Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Mandeville and Savannahâ€" Laâ€"Mar. TUESDAY.
