About
Our Mission
At the core of our training program is a commitment to expanding access to high-quality cataract surgery by equipping ophthalmologists and medical professionals with the expertise to perform Manual Small-Incision Cataract Surgery. Our goal is to provide a structured, accessible, and comprehensive learning experience that enables surgeons to restore vision for patients in need, particularly in underserved regions. We believe that compassionate care is at the heart of medicine, and through this program, we seek to empower physicians to serve with empathy and skill. By leveraging expert instruction, high-quality surgical demonstrations, and hands-on opportunities, we aim to improve surgical proficiency and enhance patient outcomes worldwide.
AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
This program is designed to meet the highest educational standards for surgical training. Participants who successfully complete the program will be able to claim AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ via the American Academy of Ophthalmology, enabling licensed medical professionals to fulfill their ongoing education requirements while advancing their surgical skills.
Beyond technical proficiency, our program emphasizes the profound impact that compassionate, patient-centered care can have on those in need. Cataract blindness disproportionately affects the most vulnerable communities, and through this training, we hope to inspire surgeons to dedicate their skills to bringing light and hope to those who need it most.
