the Duchess of Edinburgh<\/a> was at One Marylebone in London for a Orbis eye care charity event. It was the company’s fourth annual Visionaries reception, and the royal was there partaking in a live demonstration of the charity\u2019s virtual reality training technology, developed in partnership with Fundamental XR. The experience demonstrated how simulation allows eye care professionals to practise sight-saving surgery.<\/p>\nPreviously, Sophie has travelled to Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and India to see the charities work in her role as Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.<\/p>\n
The Duchess said: “I have seen people dancing and praising God and in tears over a simple operation that will change their lives.<\/strong> I’ve travelled the world with Orbis and seen what they do on board the Flying Eye Hospital, but also the trainings they do virtually and in hospitals as well. It’s a wonderful trickle effect.”<\/p>\n\n
