Dr. Timothy McCulley, director of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at California University, Monday began a training program for ophthalmologists at the Da Nang Eye Hospital.

The training is part of a program sponsored by Orbis International, a non-profit organization in the US, since 2006.

This is the third advanced training course following two earlier courses conducted by volunteer doctors and professors on the Orbis Flying Hospital in Da Nang in 2006 and 2008.

Orbis International aims to help Da Nang Eye Hospital become a leading eye care center in the central and Central Highlands regions.

Dr. McCulley will also examine 30 patients, and is expected to perform surgeries on 10-15 of them.

He will also give the central hospital special tools used for reconstructing eyes. Surgeries will be provided free of charge to poor patients.
