Continuing our charitable activities, we are launching a second project on the most famous fundraising platform in Ukraine, dobro.ua! Thanks to your support and cooperation in the first project, we managed to purchase glasses and medicines for the seventh mobile ophthalmology mission. This time, we set ourselves an even more ambitious goal of raising funds for medical equipment for ophthalmic examinations. This will make our missions more efficient, faster and more convenient for our doctors.
To make the ophthalmology missions more useful for patients, we need sustainable funding. Thus, we plan to purchase consumables for the iCare eye pressure measuring device, an ophthalmoscope for fundus examination, and a wall-mounted digital sign panel with visual tests.
Why is it so necessary?
An ophthalmoscope allows for a general examination of the eye. For example, to assess the condition of the fundus and its blood vessels, to detect retinal detachment or pathological changes, and to examine foreign bodies in the eye. Currently, we use a device that we rent, so we plan to buy our own equipment.
The wall-mounted digital sign panel is used in conditions where there is not a sufficiently spacious examination room. The panel is more compact than a traditional sign projector, and it can also be installed in vehicles converted into a mobile “cabinet,” that is, in a special vehicle.
The panel has many visual tests, which helps to determine the acuity and presence of visual defects and their degree much more efficiently.
The iCare intraocular pressure indicator is compact and handheld. The peculiarity of its work is that for each new patient it is necessary to use a new individual measuring probe in the device. The probe imperceptibly “touches” the eye, measuring the pressure. Individual probes protect patients from diseases that can potentially be transmitted from one patient to another.
For one mission, we need 200–300 probes, as this is the number of patients we examine during the trip.
All these devices, which allow for a full ophthalmic examination, are quite expensive, so we really need your support to continue our regular visits and save the eyesight of the military and civilians.
We believe that with your support, we can achieve this important goal! Each contribution you make is a step towards better medical care for those who need it most. Join the project and spread the word among your friends and acquaintances. Together, we can do more!
With best wishes,
Team of CO CF See the Victory.
