Our expert volunteers provide on-demand advice for complex cases, mentoring local eye care professionals on diagnosis and treatment of their patients. We help combat geographic isolation with easy access to an expert second opinion.
We also make sure that everyone benefits from our training activities on-board the Flying Eye Hospital, wherever it is in the world. We broadcast live lectures and surgeries to partner hospitals and classrooms around the globe. Remote participants enjoy a similar experience as those in the on-board classroom: they see surgeries through the operating microscope and can ask questions of expert surgeons and lecturers in real-time.
Dr. Ijilmurun
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
The Cybersight team and mentors have played a major part in my professional development as an ophthalmologist. Due to the lack of up-to-date knowledge in the Mongolian ophthalmology sector I rely heavily on the training and mentorship from Cybersight. Because of Cybersight I can learn every day, nonstop from excellent mentors. You are a life-changing force.
Cybersight is also a living library of our collective training efforts, freely available to all eye health professionals including current and future generations of nurses, optometrists, anesthesiologists and ophthalmologists.
Cybersight in Action
In 2018,we completed our first ever remote surgical mentorship by observing cataract surgery on a 5-year-old girl in Peru from the US. Through Cybersight, they were able to review all prepared cases and discuss appropriate treatment. Cybersight meant that the two ophthalmologists could strengthen their relationship and share learning, despite the distance.
