JUNE 2008: One memorable patient from Dr. Bennett's volunteer VOSH trip to Armenia, was a 9 year old girl. This young girl was amblyopic in both eyes due to large amounts of astigmatism. This past May, the young patient and her mother made a trip to the United States, where Dr. Bennett was able fit her complicated prescription with rigid gas permeable contact lenses. After a long and difficult process, she left the office with a smile on her face, as she would be returning to Armenia seeing the world through her new lenses.
