Thanks to all of our donors who contributed to bring in our new binocular microscope that provide the examiner with a 3D view of the eye (see the photo below). This piece of equipment provides greater magnification and illumination than most handheld devices and allows our Emergency Room to diagnose a number of traumatic and non-traumatic eye disorders.

A thorough eye exam is important, regardless of the severity of an injury. Many common systemic diseases can reveal themselves in an in-depth eye exam, such as diabetes.

Make sure to get your eyes examined every year!

Our new scope is designed for a wide range of intubation techniques and can be used in a variety of ways. This device has a light attached to the end of a flexible insert that can help to determine issues in a patient suffering from issues with either their throat or the rectum.

This purchase, made possible by your donations, means the community of Hinton now has more equipment to serve you better!
