OUTREACH
For the eighth year in a row, ophthalmic specialists from the John A. Moran Eye Center
have carried out medical missions to West Africa. Doctors from the Moran Eye Center
were recently featured in the Kumasi, Ghana newspaper. A news article featured eye sur-
geries performed by Moran Eye Center’s Alan Crandall, MD, Geoff Tabin, MD, and Robert
Hoffman, MD. They performed cataract, squint, glaucoma, and other major surgeries in
this African country. They also taught physicians and other health care workers in this area
how to perform many of these procedures. This is one of dozens of charitable missions car-
ried out by Moran Eye Center physicians. In the past year alone, Dr. Tabin, Director of
International Ophthalmology, has worked in Ghana, Nepal, China, Tibet, and Bhutan.
