With a strong focus on education, HAFF has a literacy program. However, many of us would be functionally illiterate if we did not have our glasses. An eye glass program is an essential companion to a program to teach people to read.

HAFF was given a lensometer to test the prescription of donated eye glasses and a phoropter for the patient's eyes. Donated eye glasses are tested for their prescription, cataloged, and stored. After defining a patient's prescription, we try to match them with a pair of eye glasses that make the best fit possible.

If you would like to donate eye glasses, please contact the field office in Haiti about how to proceed. . If the prescription code for the glasses can be included that is helpful. Sorry, we cannot use bifocals or trifocals.
