While many people take the
precious gift of sight for granted,
the eyes are indeed priceless gems
worth handling with care. They
are our body’s most developed
sensory organs, with a larger part
of the brain dedicated to vision
than hearing, taste, touch and
smell combined. To rephrase a
popular phrase, the eyes have it!
The eyes make us see the world
in its full spectrum, thereby
connecting us to many people,
things, places, and experiences.
Which is why that at the point of
losing our vision, many of us spare
no expense to ensure that our
unique view of the world is not
affected.
For most of her life, Dr. Moraima
Rodriguez has played a very
important role in preserving
people’s ability to see clearly.
Quality eye care, she said, must
not only be practiced, but also
affordable. For more than three
decades, her passion has been to
use her expertise to bring quality
eye care to people.
