    AN EYE TO GOOD HEALTH
    Finnish nurse Pie Bjorklof yesterday displays a bed from the famous Orbis ''flying eye hospital,'' where large numbers of patients from across the developing world have successfully regained their eyesight. Orbis is a non-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to preserving and restoring sight in the developing world. The word ''orbis'' means ''of the eye'' in Greek and ''of the world'' in Latin. The group is currently recruiting volunteers in Kaohsiung.
