Additional diagnostic equipment is needed for the ASCRS Foundation’s Robert Sinskey Eye Institute in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The Sinskey Eye Institute is the foundation’s lead humanitarian project, and will treat over 12,000 patients this year – a 20% increase over 2010. With the ever-increasing patient volume has come the need to replace some older and/or non-functioning equipment.
The foundation is appealing directly to ASCRS members for tax-deductible donations of used, but still reliable, equipment.
Interested donors are asked to contact the foundation by phone at (703) 591-2200 before shipping any equipment.
The needed diagnostic equipment includes:
• Autorefractor
• IOL Master (v3 or later)
• Tono-Pen (or equivalent)
• Autoclave (medium size)
• SLT/YAG Laser
• OCT Imaging System
