Part 3
VCS HAS BEEN PROVIDING FREE OPHTHALMOLOGY SERVICE IN THE LA AREA, DUE TO THE MEDICAL CARE COST IN THE UNITED STATES IS HIGH AND MANY UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF KOREAN, CANNOT GET PROPER TREATMENT DUE TO LACK OF GOVERNMENT'S MEDICAL SUPPORT. NORMALLY, A SINGLE EYE CAMP CAN PROVIDE EYE CHECKUPS TO ABOUT 100 PEOPLE FREE OF CHARGE, AND WE PROVIDE FREE SURGERY SERVICE TO AROUND 10 CATARACT PATIENTS. BECAUSE WE HOLD EYE CHECK-UPS AND SURGERIES ANNUALLY FREE OF CHARGE, WE ARE RECEIVING A LOT OF COMPLIMENTARY RESPONSES FOR BRINGING THE LIGHT OF HOPE TO THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED PATIENTS.
