Global Retina Institute, in collaboration with Red Rover Ventures, has been accepting doctors and students at the Ophthalmology Simulation Center to help them hone their skills, thereby reducing the risk of mistakes as they move to work on real people.

One of the young professionals that we encourage to continue pursuing ophthalmology is Dr. Emily Gray Robillard, an Ophthalmology Resident at the University of Arizona.

We are trying to raise $500.00 to purchase a 28 diopter lens for her to continue working with kids. Your every donation matters! Scan the code to get routed to our non-profit donation page, and let's work together to help young professionals in the industry!

Did you know that, according to Wall Africa, Rwanda has about 30 ophthalmologists working across public and private facilities, roughly two specialists for every million people.

Dr. David Ngabo is one of them. He is currently honing his skills at Red Rover Ventures / Global Retina Institute's Simulation Center, which allows him to practice cataract and vitreoretinal surgeries on a virtual simulator.

Our mutual goal: prevent blindness and visual impairment in every community.

A huge shoutout to the ASRS Foundation and Dr. Dan Alter of FOCUS Inc. for making it all possible!
