Iowa has a long and proud history of global ophthalmology in its various forms.
We want begin cataloguing global ophthalmology experiences of those associated with Iowa. This is our attempt to build on this proud legacy and we want to include everyone’s prior efforts and experiences.

The goal would be to take this information and put it together to create a map, where people can see all the places Iowa alumni, trainees and faculty have done global ophthalmology. We'd like this map to be sortable by category and location. Below is an example of what this could look like. Click on the image below to view the sortable map on the web.
This map was created by Stanford to showcase their Global Ophthalmology Fellowship. Kanwal Matharu, MD is a graduate of Stanford's Global Ophthalmology Fellowship and joined the Iowa faculty in 2023. To learn more about Dr. Matharu and his vision for global ophthalmology at Iowa, take a look at this interview he recently did.
