Congratulations to our own Dr. Benjamin Lambright, featured by Lions World Vision Institute for his work teaching advanced corneal surgery techniques at American Academy of Ophthalmology 2025! His dedication is inspiring and we are so grateful to have him on our team!

For this we are featuring LWVI Medical Director, Dr. Benjamin Lambright, who highlights the exceptional attendance and engaging interaction at our exhibit.

LWVI wet labs provide cornea surgeons with hands-on training in EK and CAIRS techniques to advance skills in corneal reshaping for patients with keratoconus, .

“We had a great show at AAO with Lions World Vision Institute and had the opportunity to train and connect with surgeons from across the globe during wet labs on Endothelial Keratoplasty and CAIRS Keratoplasty for patients with keratoconus.”
