She thought she simply needed glasses, but paying for specialized eye care felt out of reach. During an appointment at the South Phoenix clinic, her provider referred her to Mission of Mercy\u2019s vision clinic in Mesa, where volunteer optometrist Dr. Darcy Jones quickly realized something more serious was happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was clear Lori wasn\u2019t dealing with normal age-related vision changes,\u201d said Dr. Jones. \u201cShe had a mature cataract and needed surgery right away. I knew we had to find her help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jones reached out to her network of colleagues, ultimately securing pro bono cataract surgery with Dr. Jon A. Konti. Lori received the life-changing procedure on July 3, 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>\u201cI was completely blind in that eye,\u201d Lori said. \u201cNow I can see out of both eyes with near perfect vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mission of Mercy also supported Lori as she worked to quit smoking \u2013 a major step toward improving her overall health. With medication and encouragement, she has gone from smoking eight packs a week to fewer than two.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Lori works full time at Popeye\u2019s, supports her husband who lives with end-stage renal failure and cannot work, and is raising four of her grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMission of Mercy has meant the world to me and has given me a lot of life back \u2013 helping with my blood pressure and diabetes, and not being blind in one eye.
