InView The Focus On Independence Program Providing Free Vision Correction Surgery for Quadriplegic
Spinal Cord Injury Patients.
The Focus On Independence program is a not for profit organization whose mission is to increase the independence of people with spinal cord injuries by reducing the need for glasses and contact lenses through vision correction surgery. Patients must be over the age of 18 and must have suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury and have lost the use of their hands and/or arms, making it difficult or impossible to put on or take off their glasses without assistance.
The program was started by Barry Elbasani, a quadriplegic himself and LASIK surgeons, Daniel S. Durrie, MD and Robert K. Maloney, MD. Our LASIK surgeons are donating their time and services to help quadriplegics see without the use of glasses or contacts. If you are a quadriplegic, and want more information, e-mail or call us with your name, type of injury and the date of your injury. We will then begin to evaluate your case to see if you are a good vision correction candidate.
