After working with local universities to established the cornea transplant tissue bank, Team ORV has made several eye surgical mission trips around the world.
In 2019, Drs. Alexander Barash, Seth Meskin, Gaurang Trivedi, and Sushant Chafekar took over the leadership of the team and they traveled to Rakai, Uganda.
There, 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. Plans for additional surgical missions are currently underway.
