Case for Sight will host its Distinguished Lecture Tuesday, April 19, at 5:30 p.m. in Thwing Center ballroom.
Geoffrey Tabin, professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of Utah, will present “Impossible Dreams – The Ascent of Everest and Eradicating World Blindness.”
The Dalai Lama named Tabin an “unsung hero” in 2009 for his dedication to eradicating unnecessary world blindness and implementing a model for sustainable ophthalmic care in the developing world. As the co-founder of the Himalayan Cataract Project, Tabin is a world leader in global health.
All undergraduate and graduate students are invited to a meet-and-greet with Tabin at 4 p.m. before the lecture. Light refreshments will be provided.
