Prioritize Your Practice & Education

Join our team to research, learn, and train at our brand new eye simulation center.

FIRST US PRIVATE EYE SIMULATION CENTER

There is currently a major shortage of eye care providers worldwide which will peak in 2025. We opened the first US private simulation center in 2023. We foresaw a four-pronged need:

Gap training for ophthalmologists
Gap training for physicians: ER doctors to recent graduates
Sponsoring underrepresented medical students to enter ophthalmology
Physicians in low-income countries (our global call)

Our History

Our 501 (c) (3), Red Rover Ventures, has worked to improve access to eye care around the world since 2004.

Our non-profit has worked for 15 years on “capacity building” to develop eye technicians, OR nurses, and to train doctors around the globe side by side.

In 2016, Dr. Ross completed her MPH and focused on the ROI to train one cataract surgeon. Training one cataract surgeon to operate for 10 years had a return on investment of USD $76,000,000.

In 2017, Dr. Ross worked as a Fulbright scholar to train ophthalmic nurses in Liberia. Today her focus is exponential growth through ophthalmology simulation—the same standard we employ for US residencies.

Dr. Ross partners with US non-profits and individual physicians.

“I can’t do it by myself. But I’m doing my part.” -The Legend of the Hummingbird

An international collaboration to make
ophthalmology accessible everywhere

In a pioneering collaborative project between Europe and the United States, we demonstrated the feasibility of remotely guided retinal laser photocoagulation, successfully treating patients with diabetic retinopathy and retinal venous occlusion through specialist real-time guidance.

This technological innovation paves the way for a treatment model capable of overcoming geographical barriers, allowing the training of new doctors and offering specialist treatments even in the most remote areas of the world.

Our goal is to bring this technology to Africa, so that access to ophthalmological care becomes a universal right, not a privilege.
