Dr. Marcus Muallem described his trip to Israel as transformative—even for someone who grew up in the region. In his nearly 20-year career in ophthalmology, Dr. Muallem says this was one of the most meaningful things he has ever done.

“I didn’t realize how limited care really was,” he said. “Seeing patients wait three, four, five years with opaque corneas—it changes you.”
