Past Workshops
In November 2014, ERICA partnered with JHU Medical Student organization Student Sight Savers Program (SSSP) and the International Refugee Committee to offer our first free vision and glaucoma screenings.
SSSP ensures that all community members who require follow-up care are given follow-up care with Wilmer Eye Institute Faculty regardless of their ability to pay. They are also eligible for ophthalmological surgery that is covered by a fund for indigent patients and can obtain a free pair of prescription glasses through the Wilmer optical shop.
