This unit, staffed by volunteer doctors and researchers from the LVO, visits remote areas of Crete and the eastern Aegean islands on a monthly basis, as part of the University of the Mountains&#8217; missions. areas where there is no possibility of systematic medical monitoring, and provides free eye examinations to specific population groups, children, the elderly, the unemployed, and the disadvantaged. This effort has been warmly welcomed by the residents of these areas, as early diagnoses have prevented serious eye diseases in many cases. To date, 6,700 patients have been examined free of charge during these missions, and more than 700 patients have been referred for further examination at public hospitals in Crete. Collaboration with the University of the Mountains Missions Since the early 1990s, expeditions have been carried out in many areas within Crete. The results of the first expeditions by the UOM formed the basis for the preparation of highly commendable doctoral theses, such as the investigation of the epidemiology of pseudo-exfoliation syndrome in Crete (by Professor V.

In collaboration with other population diagnosis teams, such as the Doctors of the Aegean, expeditions were also carried out in various island areas outside Crete (Kythira, Antikythira, Milos, Santorini, and others).
