Improving the Quality of People’s Lives Worldwide
India. Guatemala. El Salvador. Grenada. Colombia. Vietnam. Northwest Eye Surgeons physicians regularly travel to countries like these volunteering their time and skill to help people see. Limited sight and limited access to medical care means limited lives for many, compromising job opportunities and social acceptance. Our physicians join other medical professionals through programs like SightLife, Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity, and ORBIS International, to serve these vulnerable citizens by providing eye exams, contributing surgical skills, and supporting local physician and community education—all in the spirit of giving compassionate care.
Dr. Carlson and our Northwest Eye Surgeon’s team treat over 100 pediatric patients and perform the only available eye surgery for children in the country of Grenada.
