Enfoque Ixcán is a non-profit organization which provides eye care to a remote jungle region of Guatemala. Our program is unique in that we train, equip and otherwise enable local Eye Health Promoters to provide eye care so that they can serve their communities on a year-round basis. They provide basic eye exams, eye glasses, eye health education and access to surgical care.

What is the cost of blindness?
When blindness occurs, the patient often needs a full time caregiver, taking yet another family member from useful employment or from their work or chores around the home. Most often, Sebastian’s caregiver is a grandchild.
