SALE Sq. Yd.sQ. YD. optometry students face job shortage * The dilemma of much needed talents being availâ€" able but not used is one more result of government restraint and cutbacks. Each summer for the past few years senior opâ€" tometry students at the University of _ Waterloo have provided vision care to native peoples in Ontario the Caribbean, and th peoâ€" ple in remote settlements throughout Northern Onâ€" tario. The various programs provided optometry serâ€" vices to people who are isolated from vision care assistance; practical exâ€" perience and muchâ€"needed income for the students and a great deal of valuable research data for the School of Optometry at the University of Waterloo. The students are those who are about to enter their final year of professional studies. They come from all over Canada since it is the only Englishâ€"language optometry school in the country.

They will also be visitâ€" ing a number of remote and unorganized communiâ€" ties, by vans if there are roads and flying in to nursâ€" ing stations if there are no roads. The program that has been cut back the most is one that has each summer seen four or five teams (four students and one supervisor to a team) go to remote Caribbean isâ€" lands and provide vision care to native peoples who do not have access to opâ€" tometrists. The program began in response to a reâ€" quest from the Ontario Department of Education and was financed by supâ€" port from the Canadian International Development Agency. But CIDA withâ€" Waterloo drew its support from serâ€" vice programs last year and the project is continuâ€" ing with the help of donaâ€" tions from service clubs and other donations. This year only one team is making the trip. It is now in Jamaica, supervised by Dr. William Coomb of New Toronto, who is donating his time and paying part of his own expenses. In July he will be replaced by Dr. L. A. Coward of Trenton and the team will go on to Grand Turk Island. The team will do vision screening examinations for several thousand people; educate school teachers in vision problem‘ detection and send referrals to mediâ€" cal agencies for cases where surgical treatment and medical attention is required. Eye glasses, donated to the School of Optometry, will be sent to people who require them. And although the stuâ€" dents have no worries reâ€" garding _ future _ careers. studies have shown that the more clinical experiâ€" ence they gain. the better will be the quality of serâ€" vice they provide in the future 099 ~> The cutâ€"off of Opportunity for Youth grants has also affected the optometry school. Local projects among elderly people, reâ€" tarded children and others have been cancelled as a result. A Kitchener group (RAISE) of retired people who help other aged people have requested a Health and Welfare grant that would keep eight students busy but it has not been answered as yet. In the school‘s own clinic, 14 students will share six jobs this sumâ€" mer. Many students have attempted to raise funds on their own for= other proâ€" jects where help is needed (among Hutterites in Manâ€" itoba and at a community in Israel) but frustration has been the result of most requests.
