One-time projects<\/h3>\n

One-time projects<\/strong> are group missions carried out by a multidisciplinary Canadian team. They provide the first ever ophthalmic services to disadvantaged people in a region where no services are available. These projects help identify common eye problems, provide eye exams and prescription glasses to people who need them, as well as medical and surgical treatment where possible.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/irismundial.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PP.jpg” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”About Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ min_height=”318px” custom_padding=”23px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/irismundial.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PPLC1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Lora||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” link_font=”||||||||” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” quote_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lora|700|||||||” header_5_font=”Oswald|||on|||||” header_5_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_5_letter_spacing=”3px” max_width=”1195px” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”||0px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”|70px||70px” custom_margin_phone=”|50px||50px” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||19px|||” link_option_url=”https:\/\/irismundial.ca\/en\/our-work\/what-we-do\/permanent-programs\/” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Permanent programs<\/h3>\n

IRIS Mundial contributes to the setting up of permanent programs<\/strong> by establishing a comprehensive eye care system in an area where services were previously non-existent. Local partners work to reduce the prevalence of vision impairments and improve the quality of life of the population so that they can actively participate in the socioeconomic development of the community.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”About Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ min_height=”353px” custom_margin=”21px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Lora||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” link_font=”||||||||” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” quote_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lora|700|||||||” header_5_font=”Oswald|||on|||||” header_5_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_5_letter_spacing=”3px” max_width=”1195px” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”||0px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”|70px||70px” custom_margin_phone=”|50px||50px” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”0px||19px|||” link_option_url=”https:\/\/irismundial.ca\/en\/our-work\/what-we-do\/continuing-education\/” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Continuing education<\/h3>\n

IRIS Mundial projects facilitate privileged exchanges on new surgical techniques and eye examinations between its professional volunteers and local vision professionals in the targeted areas through continuing education.<\/strong> IRIS Mundial also supports the autonomy of its partners through knowledge sharing and the provision of the equipment and materials needed to carry out local activities.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/irismundial.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FC.jpg” url=”https:\/\/irismundial.ca\/en\/our-work\/what-we-do\/continuing-education\/” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”About Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ min_height=”364px” custom_padding=”||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Lora||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” link_font=”||||||||” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” quote_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lora|700|||||||” header_3_font=”Lora|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”42px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” header_5_font=”Oswald|||on|||||” header_5_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_5_letter_spacing=”3px” max_width=”1118px” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”||9px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”|70px||70px” custom_margin_phone=”|50px||50px” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Special projects<\/h3>\n

IRIS Mundial also implements special projects that do not fit into any of the above categories. These are either internships organized with students from the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/em> School of Optometry or projects that support its partners, but which go beyond IRIS Mundial\u2019s mandate.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
