Transforming Global Eye Care

Neda Nikpoor, MD, and Neda Shamie, MD, interview Geoffrey Tabin, MD, cofounder of Cure Blindness Project and a Professor of Ophthalmology and Global Medicine at Stanford University. Dr. Tabin shares his inspiring journey from witnessing the transformative impact of cataract surgery in Nepal to dedicating his life to combating preventable blindness worldwide. They discuss how he and Sanduk Ruit, MD, established sustainable eye care systems by training local surgeons, implementing a model where paying patients subsidize free care, and maintaining high-quality, high-volume surgeries. The conversation explores challenges faced in different regions, strategies for sustainable medical missions, and practical ways medical professionals can contribute to global eye care efforts.
