4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, July 17,1991 Rotarians Help Jamaican Eye Clinic Like many Canadians, Tom Sorlie, an Oshawa- based optician, spent part of last winter in warmer climes. But his four-week trip to Jamaica in late January was not a holiday. He was there to train technicians in the use of a machine which allows a clinic clinic in Kingston to manufacture manufacture eyeglasses that fit the prescriptions of optometrists. optometrists. The project was funded, in part, through a donation of approximately $3,000 by the Bowmanville Rotary Club. Last Thursday, July 11, Mr. Sorlie was at the club to describe the project. He was introduced by Jack Locke, chairman of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Rotary Club's world community service committee. committee. "The indications I get are that it has been very successful," successful," Mr. Locke told the membership before turning the meeting over to Mr.'Sorlie Mr.'Sorlie who gave a first-hand report report on the project. Mr. Sorlie explained that the new machine for fitting lenses to frames will be operating operating in the FISH (Foundation (Foundation for International Self-Help Development) Clinic in a part of Kingston, Jamaica. "It has given them a great opportunity to improve improve their primary health care," he said. Mr. Sorlie has trained three technicians to carry on the production of prescription prescription glasses once he delivered delivered the machine and saw that it was operational. The guest speaker noted that a number of organizations organizations donate used eyeglasses to third world countries. The glasses can be useful. However, However, they are not custom- made for the individual patient. patient. Eyeglasses that are donated must be kept in an inventory and they can only be dispensed if a patient's prescription happens to match a pair of donated eye- wear. The advantage to a machine machine which cuts lenses to fit the frames is that a stock of blank lenses of all strengths can be kept on hand. When a prescription is received, the technician can simply shape the lens to fit the frames from the stock of lenses on hand. The guest speaker stated that the FISH clinic sees dental and medical patients as well as those requiring eyeglasses. On a typical day, between 60 and 70 people visit the clinic. Glasses are available for a fee of $300 to $400 Jamaican Jamaican dollars, which is about $50 to $60 in Canadian funds. That's about half the usual rate and, in cases where the patient cannot afford afford a pair of glasses, they may be provided free. There's no charge for those persons who obtain donated donated glasses. Mr. Sorlie told Rotarians that their donation has allowed allowed the clinic to provide a needed service. "They can now take a prescription and manufacture a lens," he said. Mr. Locke added that the installation of a lens manufacturing manufacturing machine will serve' as a pilot project for an effort effort that might take place in the country of Guyana at a later date. In his visit to the Rotary Club, Mr. Sorlie was accom- panied by Elizabeth Campbell, Campbell, chairperson of the "Outreach" "Outreach" committee for the Canadian Jamaican Club. Mr. Sorlie is also a member of the club. Tom Sorlie (right), an optician who travelled to Jamaica in January to assist in setting up a new lens manufacturing machine for a Kingston clinic, was the guest speaker at last week's meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club. He is shown here with Elizabeth Campbell, a member of the Canadian Jamaican Club Board of Directors, Directors, and Ken Hockin, President of the Bowmanville Rotary Club. They are ex- amimng a blank lens which can be shaped to fit the frame of a pair of eyeglasses. The machine which has been sent to Jamaica allows lenses to be cut and fitted to a frame according .to the prescription of an optometrist. Mr. Sorlie trained technicians technicians in the operation of the equipment during a four-week visit. The project was sponsored, in part, by the Bowmanville Rotary Club and by the Canadian Jamaican Jamaican Club. Community Marks 70th attending.
