As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Rose participated in rural village screenings with Unite For Sight's ophthalmic nurses, and he also worked with Unite For Sight's partner Ghanaian ophthalmologists, Dr. Clarke and Dr. Wanye, to provide surgical care for the patients living in extreme poverty. Dr. Rose will discuss cataract blindness and its prevention and impact in the developing world.
