Team Operation Restore Vision (ORV) returned to Rakai, Uganda for the third time, performing nearly 200 cases in just five days. The team’s free surgeries offer patients who otherwise would have stayed in blindness the chance to see once again. In addition to their hard days at the hospital, the team found time to visit OI’s local orphanage and donate to the children there.
Team Restore Vision is led by Dr. Seth W. Meskin who joined the team in 2019. The team consists of multiple talented and dedicated volunteer ophthalmologists, optometrists, nurses, and ophthalmic technicians. Dr. Meskin and his colleagues, Dr. Gaurang Trivedi, Dr. Sushant Chafekar, and Dr. Alexander Barash traveled to Rakai, Uganda in 2019 where they established the first Eye Clinic and Eye Operating Room.
The team returned to Uganda in March of 2022 and performed nearly 200 sight-saving surgeries and helped train local medical professionals about eye care.
