Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi I am Cassio Ferreira from Suncoast Community Health Center. A company committed to the health of migrant worker in South Florida. We currently have patient who needs eye surgery. This patient doesn’t qualify for Medicaid and doesn’t have the money for this operation. We are trying to help this patient but with no luck here in Florida. I like to know if any one knows a physician who could volunteer his/her job, or someone who can help this patient with her surgery costs. Thanks to everyone. Cassio Ferreira.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 None, we are in the sticking the head in the sand stage, just like HIV when it first came out. But its real and its there and we have an epidemic of this disease. No one wants to take a lead on this, not even the migrant farm worker organizations. Pterygium is horrific and based on my research if you are a Hispanic male you have a 70% chance of getting it. Cassio, get the word out and next time you come across a group of Hispanic farm workers look into their eyes and you will see the blistering, it’s a bubbling of the white cornea some may be blind. It is not caused by pesticide but over exposure to sun light.
