EYE TESTS AT LEOT SCHOOL

The LEOT school has been open in Luang Prabang for over two years
250 students have taken classes with us.
Only  2 have have glasses.

. We are pleased that Valerie a LEOT volunteer has started a project to find ways we can carry out very basic eye tests.

During her stay she met with the local hospital and gave them a selection of glasses she collected in England.
She carried basic tests to assess how many students are short sighted. 
The good news is that the majority passed this test but not all.  


We are pleased that glasses were found for one of our students. He can now confidently read the board from the back of the class.

Valerie is following up the project in the UK 
with the support of UK eye care professionals and an International NGO we can take the project further.
