What We Do

We work in a partnership with Edfri International which is very well respected and networked across the communities we visit.

 

As SeeKenya, we have drastically improved eyesight for countless Kenyans and prevented blindness through: 

 

Eye health screening

We provide eye health screening along with a refractive eye test. The full eye tests provided by SeeKenya can also indicate other health related illnesses such as diabetes and HIV. Early detection of life threatening conditions can save lives.

​​

Glasses

To those who need them, prescription glasses and ready readers are provided at no cost. SeeKenya has been given access to a dedicated ground floor space at Isiome Hope Centre where a lens glazing lab has been established. This enables single prescription glasses to be made up and issued within 1 hour of an eye test – compared to a one-month wait in the rest of Kenya.

 

Sunglasses

The sun and dust in Kenya can cause allergies resulting in eye conditions which can lead to permanent damage to the eyes. Therefore sunglasses are a critical part of our eye-care services. 

 

Medication

SeeKenya provides medication and eye drops for various conditions including infections, inflammation and glaucoma and vernal conjunctivitis. Where appropriate SeeKenya also refer and pay for surgery.

 

Education

By building relationships with local people SeeKenya are also helping educate communities about the importance of eye health especially in children. Poor eye sight, let alone blindness, impacts a child’s ability to read a chalkboard or book and, therefore, has a huge impact on their education, career prospects and their future. ​
