Barvor's New Shades

Barvor is one of the kids from Childcare Foundation. His mother is blind, and his older brother can't see well. When Barvor started complaining about his eyes hurting, we referred him to our friends at Mercy Ships. Barvor was diagnosed with glaucoma, or high pressure in the eyes. His caretaker was told that he would be blind in a few years without intervention. He was given some sun glasses and referred to a local eye clinic for follow up and eye drops.

We are told that he can't recover the sight that has been lost, but with proper care, he will be able to maintain his vision. And with his new sunglasses, his eyes no longer hurt. Plus, Barvor loves his new shades, as evidenced by his huge smile!
