A hospital for today and future generations

When he was four days old, Luc was diagnosed with a serious eye disorder, and at two weeks he underwent his first surgery to remove a cataract from his right eye.  At four years old, he has received a total of six surgeries and visits his ophthalmologist every few months.  Luc has juvenile glaucoma, and until a cure is found, he could very well continue to be a patient at St. Joseph’s Ivey Eye Institute.

Luc is just one of the thousands of patients who receive care at the Institute.  Thanks to a grant of more than $700,000 to the Institute, they will have access to the best examination equipment.  The grant is supporting the purchase of new examination equipment in the Institute as it expands its services in a new home at St. Joseph’s. 

Today fundraising continues to complete the funding of examination equipment for the new Ivey Eye Institute.
