Thanks to World Learning and the Fulbright Program, we are working with New Sight Eye Center to develop a library of training ophthalmology materials and lectures. Our goal is to purchase an Eyesi Ophthalmology Simulation system and train staff in direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Robert Dolo received Liberian accreditation for his program to train mid-level professionals. Red Rover obtained a generous donation of laser lenses from Ocular Instruments to deliver at this inaugural event.
