Dr. Ganesh has been working alongside Orbis since 2001 when she came to Manhattan for an ophthalmology fellowship. After meeting some of the Volunteer Faculty in the year prior, Dr. Ganesh was intrigued by the growing field of pediatric ophthalmology. She wanted to make a difference in her home country, India, and knew that pediatric ophthalmologists were needed. Upon completing her fellowship, Dr. Ganesh returned to India to work at Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital, where Orbis established the country's first Children's Eye Center in 2004.
Dr. Ganesh is now the Deputy Medical Director, Chairperson and Head of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus at Dr Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital, where she also runs a fellowship program. Here, she trains future generations of eye surgeons from around the world so they can take their skills back to to their home countries to treat patients.
