Episode Synopsis "Case Review: Surgical Challenges in Global Ophthalmology"

Sila Bal, MD, MPH, invites David Khorram, MD, to discuss his experiences in global ophthalmology and how health care workers in remote regions of low- to middle- income countries treat ophthalmic patients. Dr. Khorram shares insights into the epidemiology of trachoma and how it is transmitted and treated. He also explains the advantages of performing manual small-incision cataract surgery over extracapsular cataract extraction in regions without access to phacoemulsification.
