OHSU ophthalmologist helps save eyesight in Bangladesh

An estimated 650,000 adults in Bangladesh suffer from blindness, according to researchers. At the end of November, Oregon Health & Science University ophthalmologist Beth Edmunds traveled to the country to teach local doctors a minimally-invasive operation for adults and children with glaucoma. She joins us to share what she took away from her time volunteering and what it was like operating in the world’s only flying teaching hospital.
