It is interesting and awesome at times to step back and watch how God will answer our pleas in His own timing and ways. Over a year ago, I began thinking through finding an Ecuadorian here in Shell who could become an ophthalmic technician for the eye department here. I felt that we needed someone who had some grasp of English as we have had and will have American ophthalmologists doing some temporary staffing at times.

Check out a new video that has been posted on Canadian TV about Shell recently by a reporter who was here. This features many of the minisitries that there are here in Shell. It is partially in French. Enjoy.

Normally as ophthalmologists we think about cataracts as a reversible cause of blindness. In fact, I really can't remember any cases where cataract has been the cause of permanent blindness for patients. However, somehow I have been confronted with 3 cases in which cataract seemed to be the cause that led to permanent blindness. The last case which I show below was much better because we caught it earlier and are able to save vision in both eyes.
