Dreamland Mission Hospital
Eye Clinic
Life Changing Eye Care & Surgery
We make a difference to people during very traumatic times in their lives.
Our surgeon Dr Kiprop and his team provide services that are available to everyone, whatever their economic status, and that truly benefit and transform the lives of the poorest and hardest to reach communities. Patients who can afford it pay £10 (1350ksh) towards the cost of their treatment. Otherwise the cost of the surgeries is covered by our donors.
The basic cost of the surgery is £40 per eye. £92 will cover the surgical cost per eye as well as the initial consultation, an overnight stay in hospital following surgery, follow-up appointments and all associated costs including staff wages.
Who we help
This project places a special focus on the elderly, who make up the majority of those we serve in the Eye Department. Though often living in poverty, they are the backbone of many families in Kenya. When they lose their sight, the ripple effects are profound: fields go untended, families struggle to find food, and the dignity and respect once held in their communities can fade. At DMH, we are determined to change this—ensuring that sight loss is no longer a source of fear, but a condition that can be treated with dignity, compassion, and routine care.
Our Impact
Restoring sight creates opportunities for a stronger economic future for individuals and families. We have witnessed this firsthand: teachers returning to their classrooms, farmers resuming their work in the fields, and children going back to school instead of staying at home to care for their grandparents.
Lives Changed
Fridah Wanyonyi
Fridah Wanyonyi, an 81-year-old woman, faced vision problems for two years and had to be taken to an outreach clinic by her grandchild due to her poor vision. After an examination by a clinician, she was referred to Dreamland Mission Hospital for cataract surgery. The surgery was succesful and today Fridah can see clearly in both eyes and no longer needs to be lead anywhere – her independence, and dignity, has been restored.
