On behalf of my family, all thanks to DMMM/CBM. We’re so grateful to receive this support.
‘’I and my son just took a step of faith to visit St. Joseph’s Eye hospital, Mgbirichi. We were desperate to get treatment because the pain was much on him and was gradually losing sight. I was so frustrated on what to do as a single mother but instead, brought him if any support will come from a good heart and we got it. All thanks to God Almighty for directing our steps and most importantly, DMMM/CBM for this massive show of love. Today, my son is doing great and no longer complains of either pains or visions lose. Is our prayer that God should continue to bless DMMM/CBM to do more for persons in need of this support? Thanks a million times.’’
‘“I am happy that DMMM/CBM has given me sight. They’ve also promised to support me operate the other eye after completing the filariasis treatment. I now have hope to see again and looking forward to completing surgery on the other of my eye as am promised. All thanks to God, DMMM/CBM for this. ’’

Eyeglasses are important personal use items. They require great care because the frame and the lenses are very fragile and can be damaged at the slightest impact. High quality frames and lenses are considerably expensive, which makes eyeglasses quite an investment. It also takes time and effort to find the perfect eyeglasses according to prescription and requirements.
