Eye Health Institute

Dr. Richard A. Cross and Dr. Joseph M. Myers founded the Eye Health Institute in 2001. It is our goal to operate an ongoing clinic as well as to obtain a mobile clinic to provide clinical services in rural areas. The Eye Health Institute has recently been granted a permanent space by the Jamaican Ministry of Health to operate a clinic and Dr. Cross has recently been approved to receive a Jamaican license to practice optometry.
