Scott Lawrence, MD, adjunct professor at Kellogg Eye Center, and ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, traveled to Ann Arbor, MI where he gave a presentation to the general public on eye care in Ethiopia, and vision impairment here in the US. This was followed by a presentation from the Director of Lions Engagement at the Leader Dogs for the Blind, Beth Slade and her leader dog ambassador, Coco. Coco demonstrated for the audience the role of a leader dog for the visually impaired.
A second presentation that same evening by Dr. Lawrence was for our residents and faculty - on global health and eye care in Ethiopia.
