Dr. Farkas,
I followed your link from another thread. Hooray for Scojo!

One question, and an honest question (I am not looking to be condescending/rude/doubtful/anything negative) is the recognition that the Scojo foundation receiving more for its microfinance or for its vision care? It seems to me that this is a microfinance initiative with the secondary (GOOD effect) of presbyopic care rather than the inverse.

Again congratulations to the Scojo foundation they are really making waves!
