March 28. NC Sen. David Curtis, an optometrist from Lincoln County, will hold an ”Eye Doc in a Box Seminar” Saturday, April 29 at Bethel Presbyterian Church.
Curtis developed a training program for lay people to learn to prescribe glasses in Third World countries as part of their mission trip offerings. To date, lay people trained by Curtis have treated more than 900,000 patients, most of them having received prescription glasses.
Curtis has been on more than 50 medical mission trips and examined more than 50,000 patients.
“From my experience as a doctor and what I have learned doing these clinics, I created Eye Doc in a Box,” Curtis said. “It is a training to train layman to conduct eye clinics so that even more people can be blessed with better sight.”
