The Power of Sight

Yoheli is a 21-year-old Dominican woman living in Quisqueya, Sector La Loma, a Municipality in San Pedro de Macoris. She lives with her parents, has two brothers, and studies Industrial Psychology at O&M University.

When she was 16 years-old, Yoheli visited an ophthalmologist who discovered Keratoconus, an eye abnormality.

“The years following my diagnosis were the most difficult moments in my life. I constantly had a headache and pain in my eyes. It was difficult for me to differentiate faces from a distance and go about my daily routine.”

After approaching OWS, she received a pair of Atlantis contact lenses.

“I could see everything perfectly after I got a pair of contact lenses. I can do everything that I couldn’t do before. I am grateful to all the staff at OWS who acted diligently and compassionately and intervened in my case.”

“The lenses helped to improve my studies, and I am so happy because now I can lead my life as I want to.”
