SEE has been providing free eye services throughout El Salvador since 1992. In 2017, SEE held 3 expeditions in the country – specifically in Santa Ana, Santa Tecla, and Perquín. These programs treated hundreds of patients and provided them with free cataract, strabismus, and pterygium surgeries.
In Santa Tecla, SEE collaborates with PeaceHealth/Paz Salud to provide sight-restoring cataract surgeries and other eye treatments at Hospital Nacional San Rafael. SEE also collaborates with Eye Care International to provide care throughout El Salvador. Since 2017, SEE has organized 12 trips in El Salvador, performing over 1,000 surgeries and serving over 19,000 patients.
