It is the last week of National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month (#NMDAM) and Lions World Vision Institute joins our #DonateLife community in celebrating lives transformed by organ, #eye and tissue donation. Li Hua was painfully sensitive to light due to severe swelling in her #eyes. This made everyday tasks extremely difficult. She was unable to independently care for herself or for her family members, something she greatly enjoyed. Thanks to her #corneal transplants she regained her #sight and is free from pain. Before the surgery, she could not see her own features let alone the faces of those she loves. Because of the gift of a generous #donor and the #visionary practices of LWVI and #ophthalmologists, Li Hua was able to see her beautiful granddaughter on her wedding day. #WeAreLionsWorldVision and we work hard every day #SoTheWorldCanSee.

Dr. Benjamin Lambright is an extraordinary surgeon and surgical trainer. Join us and Dr. Lambright at LWVI exhibit, 6.E44 at ESCRS, as he leads our surgical training wet labs sharing his extensive skills and experience with 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝙍𝙀𝘼𝘿𝙔 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗼-𝗜𝗻 𝗗𝗠𝗘𝗞 and 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝙍𝙀𝘼𝘿𝙔 𝗗𝗦𝗔𝗘𝗞. As LWVI Medical Director, Dr. Lambright has been directly involved in all our innovations and the first to provide valuable surgical feedback. In Dr. Lambright’s words, “Endo-In DMEK is the advancement in EK we have been waiting for. It makes DMEK into a predictable procedure with less trauma to endothelial cells. This is the only way injectable DMEK should be done.” Dr. Lambright will demonstrate how LWVI innovations streamline EK surgical procedures while improving clinical outcomes using preloaded Transplant𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘋𝘠® DSAEK and Endo-In DMEK.

If you are attending ESCRS in Barcelona you will have the incredible opportunity to hear from Dr. Soosan Jacob, pioneer of the CAIRS technique!

Come learn from the #visionary herself who created this life changing surgical technique for patients with keratoconus or post LASIK ectasia. This technique has become widely accepted around the world and Lions World Vision Institute is excited to have the OptiGraft® CAIRS available for our customers in the US and internationally.

Dr. Leonard Heydenrych is an early adopter of preloaded Transplant𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘋𝘠® DSAEK and Endo-In DMEK and has brought this innovative process to South Africa to make a difference in his practice. Dr. Heydenrych elected to work with LWVI based on our constant stream of innovations, including the novel Transplant𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘋𝘠 DSAEK and Endo-In DMEK, which have enabled him to provide the benefits of these procedures with his patients. Dr. Heydenrych has presented his work at several #ophthalmology conferences using this preloaded, fluid injection device in patients with complex anterior chambers. At #ESCRS Dr. Heydenrych will present his experience and lead #wetlabs for participants interested in streamlining their EK surgical procedures while improving clinical outcomes.
