Class on the eyes in Lemoa

Today, we had class in Lemoa with all of the promoters. With everyone, we had 22 people in the class. Lisa prepared a class on the eyes and people showed an interest. We often see people in the clinics with multiple eye problems including allergies, cataracts and ptergions.

Lisa talked about basic anatomy of the eye. She emphasized that the eye, being so complicated could not have happened just by chance. That only God could have created something so amazing that functions so perfectly.

We divided into three groups and worked on different topics and then met together again. Because of the heavy rains, we repositioned the chairs so everyone could stay dry.

One group studied ptergions. One of the students explained this disease as one of the other girls and Manuel holds the information.

It was pointed out that for cataracts and ptergions, the only cure is a surgical process. Many people continue to want to take vitamins or buy creams sold in the park, believing that these will eliminate the problem.

Tomas, has a ptergion and he was kind enough to let the others examine his eye as Lisa explained.

The more education that we all have, we can better care for ourselves and for others. The classes continue to go well and the students enjoy them.
