ORBIS BRINGS THE WORLD INTO FOCUS IMAGINE THE WORLD around you in darkness. For millions of people this darkness is a reality. Blindness takes away so much more than vision. It can impede your ability to gain an education. It can prevent you from finding employment. It can lead you and your family into a life of poverty. Eighty percent of the world’s visually impaired suffer from conditions that are avoidable or curable but go untreated due to lack of access to quality eye care. Throughout the following pages you will learn how ORBIS programs help bring the world into focus.

THE FLYING EYE HOSPITAL ON LOCATION IN MONGOLIA FOR ORBIS, SAVING SIGHT AROUND THE world begins with the transfer of skills and information to local doctors. Dr. Enkhmaa Purev of Hospital Number Three in Ulan Batar, the capital city of Mongolia, is a perfect example of this strategy.
“I think by having repeated programs like this we will improve our knowledge and improve our skills. The training that ORBIS provides while they are here is very productive,” said Dr. Purev. “The volunteers are very skillful in passing their knowledge. They are superb surgeons. I learned a lot.”

OMEGA is working in cooperation with actor and brand ambassador Daniel Craig to support ORBIS and the Flying Eye Hospital (FEH). A special watch—the Hour Vision Blue—was created to celebrate this partnership. In 2011, Craig visited the FEH on location in Mongolia to witness ORBIS’s work first-hand. His experience was chronicled in a 26-minute film as he toured the FEH and met patients whose lives were touched by ORBIS. Watch the 26-minute film by visiting orbis.org/ThroughTheirEyes.
“THE SURGERY HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. IT IS EASIER TO COMMUNICATE AND WORK IN PUBLIC. MY SELF-ESTEEM HAS RETURNED WITH A JOYFUL GLEAM AT LOOKING AT THE WORLD WITH MY TWO EYES,” SAID GEREL. “I NOW LOOK AT MY LIFE IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY.”

In Mongolia, many people live by a semi-nomadic tradition and reside in huts in remote rural areas that can limit access to health care services.
In Mongolia, many communities live by a semi-nomadic tradition in areas with poor infrastructure and difficult terrain, which severely limits access to even basic health care services. Additionally, the rate of urbanization of Ulan Batar introduces a heavy burden on the existing health care infrastructure.
Nineteen-year-old Gerel Vaanchig from Northern Mongolia is a first-year medical student who was born with a congenital disorder that led to drooping eyelids so that her left eye was almost closed. Throughout her youth, the condition not only affected her self-esteem but also made her uncomfortable to be around people.
Through a partnership between the Mongolian Ministry of Health and the Mongolian Ophthalmology Society, ORBIS staff and Volunteer Faculty from the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital conducted a program in Ulan Batar in July 2011 that provided comprehensive training in adult and pediatric ophthalmology.
Gerel was selected as a teaching case during the Ulan Batar program. Her successful surgery was conducted by Dr. Kersten, as he guided local doctors in the procedure. “The technique that I showed them is one that they had not seen before, and I think it is faster, simpler, more predictive and has better results,” said Dr. Kersten.
During the three-week visit, ORBIS staff and volunteers provided local medical professionals the opportunity to learn more about advanced techniques and procedures in sub-specialty skill areas, such as oculoplastics, retina, cataract, glaucoma and others. Volunteer Faculty members, including Dr. Robert Kersten, pictured left, worked with Dr. Purev and other local eye care professionals to screen patients and perform sight-saving surgery for those most in need.
“YOU AREN’T JUST GIVING BACK SIGHT; YOU ARE GIVING THEM COLORS, CLOUDS, THEIR MOTHER’S FACE. YOU GIVE THEM LIFE.”
“The surgery has changed my life. It is easier to communicate and work in public. My self-esteem has returned with a joyful gleam at looking at the world with my two eyes,” said Gerel. “I now look at my life in a very different way.” ORBIS’s focus on local training in Mongolia transformed Gerel’s life.

THE NEW PLANE WILL BRING MANY ADVANTAGES TO THE FIGHT AGAINST AVOIDABLE BLINDNESS, AMONG THEM:
IMPROVED DESIGN Will be comprised of customized modules secured on unique air cargo pallets that will enable the hospital section to be removed from the aircraft for easy maintenance.
INCREASED PERFORMANCE Will reduce, and in some cases eliminate, expensive and time-consuming fuel stops and will also increase the number of airports we can land in.
REDUCED OPERATING COST Will have upgraded avionics, which requires only two pilots and less maintenance cost in the upkeep of the equipment.
INCREASED AUDIO-VISUAL CAPABILITY Will leverage cutting-edge broadcasting and online technology, ensuring more eye care professionals than ever before can access training from anywhere in the world.
In 2011, FedEx renewed a $5.375 million, five-year commitment made to ORBIS, which includes the extension of the FedEx Fellows Program—an opportunity for local, talented doctors to receive the continuing medical education needed to address leading causes of avoidable blindness within their country and region.

CYBER-SIGHT ® REACHES RURAL INDIA AT THE BEGINNING OF 2011, DR. ANUPAM Yadava was practicing as a general ophthalmologist at a small government hospital in rural India where there are no specialty clinics. More than 200 rural patients came every day looking for help from Dr. Yadava, the primary ophthalmologist in the outpatient clinic. As a result, up to 40 of these patients would eventually require surgical treatment. He had finished his ophthalmology training a few months earlier and was studying to take postgraduation exams.
HAVING ONLY A FEW BOOKS AND A LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN PR ACTICE, DR . YADAVA DISCOVERED CYBERSIGHT® ONLINE AND REACHED OUT FOR HELP IN CARING FOR HIS PATIENTS. Having only a few books and little experience in practice, Dr. Yadava discovered Cyber-Sight® online and reached out for help in caring for his patients. He enrolled in the E-Consultation program and began sending dozens of cases each month for feedback.

to a larger ophthalmologic center, which is quite far off,” said Dr. Yadava. “And this is the scenario in not just my hospital setting; it is the scenario for much of the Indian population living below the poverty line.” Later in the year, Dr. Yadava was accepted for fellowship training at Aravind Eye Hospital. As he prepared to begin his fellowship, he stated, “With pleasure and pride, I will also inform the faculty and my colleagues of the tremendous impact that ORBIS and Cyber-Sight® have made on me and my career.”

FOCUS ON AFRICA L O N G - T E R M C O U N T RY P RO G R A M S ORBIS’S WORK IN AFRICA BEGAN OVER TEN years ago with comprehensive eye care programs in Ethiopia. These programs work to improve rural eye care services and to eliminate trachoma—a leading cause of preventable blindness. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest prevalence of childhood blindness in the world, yet very few adequate services or trained staff are available. ORBIS expanded its work in this region in 2011 to meet the needs of local children in Durban, South Africa and Kitwe, Zambia. Here ORBIS is developing specialized, child-friendly eye care centers and working with partners to build efficient referral networks for children.

2011 HIGHLIGHTS In Gamo Gofa, Ethiopia, highly successful Zithromax® distribution campaigns were conducted in 17 villages with an average coverage of 98 percent. In Kitwe, Zambia, a child-friendly eye health unit was established at Kitwe Central Hospital. In Durban, South Africa, as a result of a three-year partnership between the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Department of Health and ORBIS, the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital (IALCH) opened a new Pediatric Eye Care Center. In Burkina Faso, ORBIS hosted two roundtables for NGOs, key government representatives and other interested individuals to discuss the ophthalmic needs in Burkina Faso, plans for 2011 and 2012 and potential areas of collaboration.

CHANGING LIVES IN RURAL ETHIOPIA “I MUST BE ABLE TO SEE TO LOOK AFTER MYSELF AND MY LAND. I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION AND I AM GLAD I HAVE THIS HELP.”
IN THE MOUNTAINOUS REGION OF GAMO Gofa, Ethiopia, blinding trachoma is common. Those who live here live in fear of losing their sight and, with it, their independence. In Ethiopia, ORBIS works with local partners to implement the World Health Organization’s (WHO) SAFE strategy initiated to eliminate trachoma. Tsehyso Chenko had trachoma for ten years. The infection led to a condition called trichiasis, which caused her eyelids to turn inward and the eyelashes to scrape the surface of her eyes. Tsehyso was constantly in pain and found it increasingly difficult to walk. Since her husband died and her children moved away to work, she was solely responsible for her land. She assumed it was her lifelong fate to lose her sight. Over time, she stopped going out and became lonely and depressed.

While visiting the area, an ORBIS-trained outreach worker convinced her to visit the nearest clinic for treatment. She walked four hours to get to the clinic, where she was greeted by Seifu Wanaka, an ORBIStrained Integrated Eye Care Worker. “People are so grateful when I come to their villages. It is really lifechanging for them to have treatments available. They can go back to work, look after their family and have a social life. It is the difference between life and complete darkness,” said Seifu. After a 15-minute operation on her left eye, Tsehyso was bandaged and told to return in seven days for follow-up and to treat her right eye. “I must be able to see to look after myself and my land. I have no other option and I am glad I have this help,” said Tsehyso. ORBIS’s focus on Africa is enabling thousands of women like Tsehyso to become self-sufficient.
Pfizer was an early supporter of ORBIS’s work to reduce the prevalence of blinding trachoma. Today, through the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI), Pfizer provides antibiotics that ORBIS distributes to millions of people in Ethiopia as part of an ongoing effort to eradicate trachoma by using the SAFE strategy. 19 ORBIS International

BACK TO SCHOOL FOR MAIYAN “I DON’T GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE I CAN’T read what the teacher writes on the blackboard. Because the other children never stop teasing me and they refuse to play with me, saying I have ‘weird eyes,’” said 12-yearold Maiyan, eyes filled with tears, as she recalled how she was treated because of her strabismus. This condition occurs when the eyes don’t look in the same direction. Maiyan and her family of nine live in the remote, mostly rural Gansu Province of northwest China. Gansu is considered one of the poorest Chinese provinces. From birth, Maiyan’s left eye did not align and, as she became older, she was taunted and mocked by other children. Maiyan only attended school for a few days before she became so upset by her classmates’ cruelty that she pleaded to stay home. Despite not being able to see the world clearly, Maiyan loved painting pictures with bright colors. When ORBIStrained doctors examined her eyes, Maiyan presented them with sketches of her hopes and dreams. Looking at her work, our local partners were determined to transform her dream of a fully sighted future into reality.

“NOW I CAN GO BACK TO SCHOOL!” In May 2011, Maiyan underwent surgery to treat her strabismus at an ORBIS partner hospital. Within two hours, the surgery performed by ORBIS volunteers and local staff was successfully concluded. Maiyan returned to the hospital a day later to have her bandages removed. She happily told her parents, “Now I can go back to school!”
Standard Chartered has been an active sponsor of ORBIS programs in China for more than a decade. The bank funded the creation of “Kids Sight,” the ORBIS China childhood blindness initiative, which led to the establishment of the country’s first pediatric ophthalmology facility.

IN 1982, THE ORBIS FLYING EYE HOSPITAL (FEH) took to the skies, with Panama City as its first destination. Thirty years later, with more than 60 FEH visits to Latin America and the Caribbean, ORBIS is actively conducting long-term blindness prevention projects in several countries. In Peru, ORBIS is strengthening children’s eye care by treating uncorrected refractive error among schoolchildren, and by reducing blindness due to
retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a disease in which the retina is undeveloped in premature babies in neonatal care. In Haiti, ORBIS works with local partners to develop and support an eye care stabilization project to provide direct services to displaced people living in camps after the 2010 earthquake. ORBIS and partner organizations are also improving eye care services through training, equipment and capacity building in Jamaica.
2011 HIGHLIGHTS ORBIS’s partner Instituto Damos Vision (IDV) in Lima, Peru, completed a four-year project to manage ROP within the city’s 17 Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). This model will be replicated in six regions in northern Peru in 2012. ORBIS’s support for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB)-Vision 2020 in Latin America facilitated four studies in Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and El Salvador, to assess the change in blindness over almost a decade and to establish data where none had existed. These results will contribute to eye care advocacy in years to come.

ORBIS’s four-year program with the Instituto Regional de Oftalmologia (IRO) in Trujillo, Peru, worked to improve cataract and diabetic retinopathy services in five northern regions. Haiti’s post-earthquake eye care recovery was supported by ORBIS and CBM in a joint project to provide services to displaced persons living in five tent cities in Port-au-Prince. Jamaica’s largest public tertiary adult hospital, Kingston Public Hospital (KPH), benefited from ORBIS’s support with a four-year project that resulted in increased high quality cataract surgeries.

ENHANCING PATIENT CARE THROUGH NURSING EDUCATION IN PERU IN 2011, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NURSING
Ophthalmic Society of Peru and the Peruvian Nursing Council, ORBIS hosted a three-day conference in Trujillo, Peru, with 75 percent of speakers being Peruvian nurses whose presentations ranged from practice, to debate, to self-developed research trials. The event attracted an unprecedented 236 participants from urban, rural and remote areas of Peru. “By working together with existing and emerging professional nursing bodies in Peru, the conference directly resulted in the largest stand-alone ophthalmic nurse and technician training event in Peru and provided avenues for networking for Peruvian nurses to continue to enhance local exchange of ideas, experiences and recommendations,” said Heather Machin, ORBIS Associate Director of Nursing.
“I CAN SAY NOW THAT I AM ABLE TO SHARE ALL I HAVE LEARNED WITH MY COLLEAGUES BECAUSE YOU HAVE TR AINED A TR AINER .” During the 2011 visit of the Flying Eye Hospital (FEH) to Peru, ORBIS selected a local nurse to work side-byside with FEH nursing staff for an extended period of time. Sofia Salazar Tamayo, a Clinical Nurse Manager from long-time ORBIS partner Instituto Regional de Oftalmologia (IRO), was selected.

FOCUS ON HOSPITAL-BASED PROGRAMS MANY DEVELOPING COUNTRIES SUFFER from a critical shortage of trained health service providers. Eye care is not immune to this shortfall. ORBIS works to fill this gap through training. Yearround, ORBIS conducts programs at local hospitals in developing countries for ophthalmologists, nurses, anesthesiologists and other essential eye care professionals to build up their local eye care services.

IN 2011, ORBIS CONDUCTED
32 HOSPITAL-BASED PROGRAMS
IN
14 COUNTRIES
These hospital-based programs (HBPs) are unique from other ORBIS programs in that they typically concentrate on one area of eye care at a time and involve a smaller number of trainees. A major added benefit of HBPs is the post-program reinforcement of training provided. If the trainees learn material during Flying Eye Hospital programs, it must be updated and repeated in order to be sustained. Programs include training in pediatric eye care, cataract, glaucoma, retina, oculoplastics and diabetic retinopathy. Quality eye care requires a full team of medical professionals, and ORBIS programs offer training for essential members of this team, including ophthalmic nurses and the biomedical engineers who maintain the eye care machinery that is critical to sight-saving work.
Alcon, a global leader in eye care, has partnered with ORBIS for more than 30 years as a global sponsor, providing support for the Flying Eye Hospital and programs such as the India Childhood Blindness Initiative. Alcon provides grants as well as medical gifts in kind such as state-of-the-art ophthalmic equipment, pharmaceuticals and supplies to support ORBIS medical programs. 24

“HOSPITAL-BASED PROGR AMS ARE AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO BRING BOTH INFORMATIVE AND DIRECT, HANDS-ON SKILLS TO OUR TR AINEES WITHIN THEIR OWN PATIENT CARE CONTEXT.

SPOTLIGHT ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERS AND NURSES In many of the countries where ORBIS works and around the world, much of the medical equipment available is in need of repair or is not properly maintained. Biomedical engineers and technicians play a key role in addressing this issue, but there are few opportunities for these professionals to pursue continuing education in ophthalmic equipment maintenance and repair. ORBIS has focused on creating skills-exchange programs and partnerships that offer biomedical engineers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the management and maintenance of ophthalmic equipment. Many of these programs are conducted with the support of Alcon, who has partnered with ORBIS for more than 30 years as a global sponsor. During the 2011 Flying
/ORBISInternational
/ORBISIntl
Eye Hospital Program in Ulan Batar, Mongolia, Alcon engineers volunteered their time to work side-by-side with Mongolian medical technicians to train them in maintaining critical ophthalmic equipment within their hospitals. ORBIS is committed to supporting the development of modern, sustainable nurse training options designed to ultimately improve patient care. ORBIS’s nurse training programs work to develop relationships with local ophthalmic nursing communities and provide international and peer evidence-based standards, hospital management and quality care training. In 2011, ORBIS nursing programs included clinic, community, ambulatory surgery, management, quality development, public health and emergency training, such as basic life support.

FOCUS ON FELLOWSHIPS AS A SPONSOR OF ORBIS FOR 30 YEARS, FedEx has committed its resources — human capital, delivery services and aviation expertise — to assist ORBIS in delivering the gift of sight to countless individuals in the developing world. Through the FedEx Fellows Program, ORBIS provides an opportunity for local, talented doctors to receive the continuing medical education needed to address leading causes of avoidable blindness within their home country. These ophthalmic training fellowships target ophthalmologists from hospitals at the heart of the fight against blindness.
saying ‘I don’t know’ and then reading up on it. I am still a student, and always will be,” said Dr. Mariano at the end of his fellowship.
A TRAINING LEGACY FOR THE PHILIPPINES
“THIS FELLOWSHIP GIVES OPPORTUNITY—WHEN YOU LEARN FROM THE BEST YOU BECOME THEIR LEGACY. WHEN I BECOME A TEACHER I WILL TELL OF WHAT I LEARNED HERE; IT IS A LIVING LEGACY. I AM ALWAYS PROUD OF ORBIS —I TELL ALL THE PATIENTS. TR AINING IS SO NEEDED.”
An estimated four million people in the Philippines suffer from the loss of sight in one or both eyes. Like many countries in the region and throughout the developing world — particularly those that have experienced consistent and, in some sectors, rapid economic growth — resources in the Philippines are not distributed equitably throughout society. Medical treatment is no exception. Access to health care can be non-existent or limited in rural communities, while metropolitan centers offer advanced private care to those who can afford it.
Dr. Mariano had recently graduated from residency at St. Luke’s Hospital in Quezon City, Philippines. He was excited to make the most of this opportunity and was thrilled to be awarded with the fellowship. His interest in neuro-ophthalmology comes from a love of being challenged. “Because it is hard, few others are interested, but I feel it can be not only sight-saving but life-saving,” he said.
Dr. Buenjim L. Mariano was selected as the 2011 FedEx Fellow from the Philippines. Dr. Mariano was a hands-on trainee aboard the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital (FEH) in Manila, Philippines, in 2010. It was there he met ORBIS Volunteer Faculty Member Dr. Gillian Adams. Dr. Mariano wished to specialize in neuro-ophthalmology and Dr. Adams suggested he apply for an ORBIS Fellowship and join her at her hospital, Moorfields Eye Hospital, in London. “I will be taking the steps from student to teacher to share my learning. I have learned not to be afraid of

Dr. Mariano was selected as the 2011 FedEx Fellow from the Philippines. Dr. Mariano was a hands-on trainee aboard the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital in Manila, Philippines, in 2010.
Moorfields is one of the top eye institutions in the world, with high-quality care and high-profile research being undertaken by some of the most esteemed ophthalmic professionals in the world. Several of ORBIS’s Volunteer Faculty members are physicians at this hospital. “The building is old but the knowledge is new. The thirst for learning doesn’t end and everyone really wants to pass it on. I have been hands-on. I am here to learn and I’ll make my mistakes while I’m guided,” said Dr. Mariano. “In just these first few weeks I have learned a lot.”

“This Fellowship gives opportunity—when you learn from the best you become their legacy. When I become a teacher I will tell of what I learned here; it is a living legacy. I am always proud of ORBIS—I tell all the patients. Training is so needed.” Dr. Mariano has returned to the Philippines after his one-year fellowship with the ability to put these skills to good use, and is the only neuro-ophthalmology specialist at his hospital. Dr. Mariano completed his fellowship in January 2012 and in February participated in an ORBIS FEH program in Iloilo, Philippines.
