Hi Friend,
Our three-week Flying Eye Hospital project in Mongolia has wrapped up, preparing local eye care professionals for a future of saving sight.
Thanks to your support, Mongolian doctors, nurses, and biomedical engineers received hands-on training to treat some of the country’s leading causes of blindness. With the help of our expert Volunteer Faculty, eye teams honed their skills using simulation technology, and got first-hand experience in screening and treating patients. Some of these patients, like little Buyendelegar above, went on to get surgery on the plane, where local doctors were able to observe.
Flying Eye Hospital Director, Maurice Geary, describes the incredible moment when a child’s vision is restored. “To see young kids coming on the plane with their parents, in the course of one afternoon their sight is saved and their lives are changed. You can see it in the eyes of each of these parents; they know how much of an impact this is going to have on the life of their child."

Now generations of girls like Buyendelegar can get the high-quality eye care they deserve.
Thank you for helping us make a lasting difference.
Team Orbis
