Dr. Davidian is a distinguished ophthalmologist and philanthropist whose career has spanned more than five decades, beginning with his graduation from Loma Linda University Medical School in 1970.

After completing his medical education, Dr. Davidian dedicated two years as a missionary physician and surgeon in Guyana, followed by five years as a general physician in Northern California. He then pursued ophthalmology training at White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles.

In his role as Chief of Ophthalmology at Riverside General Hospital, Dr. Davidian was invited to teach at Montemorelos University in Mexico. During a two-week visit in 1981, he saw an opportunity to create a training program that would develop the immense potential of the medical students and shape the next generation of ophthalmologists. His vision led to the development of a training program that has since graduated over 350 highly skilled ophthalmologists now serving communities across South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Africa.
