We are reaching the final phase of our charity drive 2017.
If you haven't done so already, share our link with your friends and family. It's all going for a good cause. Have a look at the justgiving website to see what we have been up to.
Welsh Ophthalmic Trainees are pleased to share with you our first ever Charity Event. We
are raising money for SightSavers international and hope to reach our
target of £1000 (or more!). They are a group that fights
avoidable blindness and we know first hand the impact eye disease can
have on an individual so this cause is close to our hearts.
