Global Eye Care, Based in Missouri

Four times a year, a team of optometrists and ophthalmologists travel to help people in need living in Guatemala to offer cataract surgeries, eyewear, eye exams and more. This tradition dates back to about the year 2000, when the now-retired Dr. Jim Gamble took his first trip to Chichicastenango, Guatemala to provide critical vision and eye health support. His eyes now opened to that need, Dr. Gamble began taking regular trips, and in time was joined by other MEC doctors. By 2008, KindSight 20/20 was born, and Missouri Eye Consultants began to formally support regular mission trips.
