Orbis International/Alcon – Flying Eye Hospital
Dr. Maria Montero, Associate Director of Clinical Training for Orbis’s Flying Eye Hospital discusses the one-of-a-kind fully accredited ophthalmic teaching hospital and Orbis’s long-standing partnership with Alcon. In this segment, Dr. Montero speaks about the Flying Eye Hospital’s recent visit to Fort Worth, Texas, where Orbis’s clinical staff and Volunteer Faculty (medical experts) along with Alcon bioengineers and trainers shared their knowledge with nearly 50 ophthalmologists, ophthalmology residents, nurses and biomedical engineers from several countries throughout the Caribbean, helping them build skills to fight avoidable blindness in their communities.
Dr. Maria Montero is the Head of Ophthalmology at Orbis’s Flying Eye Hospital where she performs eye surgeries for adults and children—sometimes offering her services for free for those with limited access to care.
