Nov 23rd, 2023 | Category: GLEANER PREMIUM | 11:53#JamaicaGleaner NOVEMBER 23, 2023: Retired trucker, Oliver Dean, has been suffering with cataract disease long before COVID-19 placed a spoke in the wheels of surgeries at the Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH), while Darius Gayle, sees disjointed lines before his eyes each time he opens them. The two men, who have been on a waiting list, one for three years, were among 65 patients booked for life-changing eye surgeries by Jamaican-American noted ophthalmologists Dr Basil Morgan and Dr Giovanni Greaves, who are part of a 23-strong contingent giving free service prescribing glasses, repairing eye sights, reducing a backlog stifling the healthcare system, while offering hope to many who may have lost optimism. *NB Correction: Female doctor's name is Dr Winsome Leslie*
