Abstract

El Salvador is a third-world country in Central America that suffers from extreme poverty and a lack of quality medical attention. The country has experienced great natural disasters in the past few years including Hurricane Mitch in October 1998 and two major earthquakes in January and February 2001. While large amounts of food, clothing, and medical supplies have poured into the country, inadequate health care is a problem for many. In particular, visual health has largely gone unchecked.
