In South Africa, ICEE is providing eye care to thousands of people.

Bright is a security guard working at the Wentworth Hospital in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. His poor eye sight was making simple tasks difficult - hindering his job performance and ultimately threatening his livelihood.

“My main job is to secure the nurses and doctors from the unexpected visitors. Most especially my job is paperwork. I’ve got a problem because of the eyes,” said Bright.

He had a refractive error problem but, like many patients of ICEE, never had the opportunity or means to visit an eye care professional.

After an eye examination by an ICEE optometrist, Bright was fitted with a pair of bifocals to correct his refractive error and help him see clearly.

“I had a problem before the glasses. I can’t see clearly. Even doing my job correctly, I was asking one of my colleagues to help me, especially in writing. And now I can do it on my own.”

Bright added, “I’d like to thank ICEE because now I can see!”
