The Armenian EyeCare Project

The Armenian EyeCare Project (hereafter AECP) is a US-based charity organization founded in 1992 by Armenian-American ophthalmologist Dr. Roger Ohanesian. Its mission is to eliminate preventable blindness and make eye care accessible to all people in Armenia. To this end, many highly qualified American academic ophthalmologists have been invited to visit Armenia to treat patients and share the knowledge with their Armenian colleagues. As well, large quantities of medication and equipment have been brought to Armenia.
