\n\t\t\tOptom\u00e9triste b\u00e9n\u00e9vole en Afrique\t<\/h1>\n\t

Vous \u00eates optom\u00e9triste et recherchez une opportunit\u00e9 de mission humanitaire en Afrique ? Mercy Ships vous invite \u00e0 rejoindre une \u00e9quipe d'optom\u00e9tristes b\u00e9n\u00e9voles \u00e0 bord de navires-h\u00f4pitaux pour r\u00e9aliser des examens ophtalmologiques essentiels, des d\u00e9pistages visuels et des formations. L'objectif? Redonner la vue \u00e0 des communaut\u00e9s dans le besoin.<\/p>\n

Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 vous, une op\u00e9ration simple pour recouvrer la vue!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Volunteer\n

\n\t\t\tPourquoi faire du b\u00e9n\u00e9volat en tant qu'optom\u00e9triste en Afrique?\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t\tC\u00e9cit\u00e9 et d\u00e9ficience visuelle dans les pays \u00e0 faibles ressources\t<\/h3>\n\t

Les affections oculaires pouvant \u00eatre trait\u00e9es \u00e0 un stade pr\u00e9coce dans des pays comme le Canada ne sont souvent pas trait\u00e9es dans certaines r\u00e9gions du monde, et entra\u00eenent souvent une d\u00e9ficience visuelle ou la c\u00e9cit\u00e9. La majorit\u00e9 des cas de c\u00e9cit\u00e9 sont curables et pourraient \u00eatre \u00e9vit\u00e9s par la pr\u00e9vention et un traitement pr\u00e9coce. Dans les pays que nous servons, \u00eatre aveugle signifie souvent \u00eatre exclu de la communaut\u00e9. La plupart des enfants aveugles ne survivent pas apr\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e2ge de cinq ans.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tCataracte\t<\/h3>\n\t

Outside developed countries, cataracts remain the leading cause of avoidable visual impairment, affecting 50% in sub-Saharan Africa. A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens which impedes the passage of light. Although most cases of cataract are related to the ageing process, occasionally children can be born with the condition, or cataracts can develop after eye injuries, inflammation, or as a result of ocular diseases. Cataract surgery is one of the most cost-effective treatments that can be offered in developing countries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Eye\n

\n\t\t\tSoins de sant\u00e9 transformationnels gr\u00e2ce aux programmes de soins de la vue\t<\/h3>\n\t

Mercy Ships aims to prevent the effects of blindness by providing specialised medical treatment. Mercy Ships uses hospital ships supported by shore-based activities to deliver free specialised healthcare to the world’s forgotten poor.<\/p>\n

Mercy Ships ophthalmic surgeons perform free, vital eye operations to restore patients’ sight and improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tChirurgie ophtalmique\t<\/h3>\n\t

La cataracte est la cause la plus courante de c\u00e9cit\u00e9 \u00e9vitable dans le monde. Cependant, la plupart des cas de c\u00e9cit\u00e9 par la cataracte peuvent \u00eatre gu\u00e9ris et la vue peut \u00eatre restaur\u00e9e avec une technique peu co\u00fbteuse et sans suture. Les op\u00e9rations de la cataracte de Mercy Ships sont effectu\u00e9es en utilisant les m\u00e9thodes et technologies les plus r\u00e9centes. Les chirurgiens de Mercy Ships appliquent des proc\u00e9dures pour corriger les d\u00e9formations du pt\u00e9rygion (excroissance de la corn\u00e9e de l\u2019\u0153il), du strabisme (yeux crois\u00e9s) et des paupi\u00e8res, et pour remplacer les yeux aveugles douloureux ou d\u00e9figurants par des proth\u00e8ses.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tEnseignement, Formation et Promotion de la Sant\u00e9 (ETA)\t<\/h3>\n\t

Outre l\u2019orientation chirurgicale, Mercy Ships offre des possibilit\u00e9s de formation aux chirurgien(ne)s locaux et aux professionnel(le)s des soins de la vue. Cette formation contribuera \u00e0 renforcer la capacit\u00e9 des pays \u00e0 fournir des services ophtalmologiques.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 39 million people are blind worldwide. Most of the world’s blind -about 90% – live in poor nations where eye care is inaccessible.<\/li>\n
  • Environ 80% de toutes les d\u00e9ficiences visuelles pourraient \u00eatre \u00e9vit\u00e9es au niveau mondial. La correction des erreurs de r\u00e9fraction pourrait donner une vision normale \u00e0 plus de 12 millions d\u2019enfants (\u00e2g\u00e9(e)s de 5 \u00e0 15 ans).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\"Joan\n\t

    “I saw a documentary about 15 years ago in a hotel room and I sat down on the end of the bed and wept and a voice inside me said ‘one day you will serve on that ship’ it never left me and came to mind often in big and small ways.”<\/p>\n
