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*
