Last Saturday's retina clinic in the afternoon was staffed by Dr. Roberto Roizenblatt, Retina Specialist at Long Beach Retina, who was returning to the program, but it was the first time at the new location.

Thank you Dr. Roizenblatt for your help in management of patients in the clinic. Much appreciated.

We also had a full house with volunteers from all over SoCal. Appreciate the help to these dedicated individuals who come to the clinic regularly and help out with patient care.

It takes more than a few to run a program such as the Orange County Eye Project.

With Ivonne is the Front Office Manager, Gaby is in charge of the OCEP Surgery program, who is tasked with reaching out to patients, organizing their preop consults with the surgeon, helping schedule their medical clearance for surgery, and scheduling their surgeries in partnership with the Advanced Eye Medical Group (AEMG) Eye Institute.

After all that, Gaby also stays at the surgery center to provide postoperative instructions to the patients and their families to make sure every question is answered and every instruction made clear to them. These instructions are important, since if the patient does not follow them, all the work that has gone into the surgery can potentially not come out with best results.

Gaby got a chance to be inside the surgery room and watch a couple of surgeries with her own eyes! A first time for her!!

In the pictures, Gaby with Dr. Matthew Wade, Ophthalmologist & Cornea Specialist at UCI Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, who operated on the patients as part of the program.

Thank you Dr. Wade and thank you Gaby.

While the OCEP Clinic provides specialized eye care to those are referred to us/seek help from us, we also focus significantly on education.

Our Providers demonstrate techniques and teach those who shadow with details about the eye and the disease, all of which makes the volunteers more aware and more knowledgeable about eyes and eye care.

This goes even for the senior and experienced volunteers in the clinic, who have learnt from others before them, and are now passing on that knowledge to others. They not only provide patient care, but they also take the time to teach new volunteers as well as High Schoolers who follow the senior volunteers.

In the picture, Jonathan Lam, a medical student at California University of Science of Medicine, is helping scribe for Dr. Aisha Simjee, the Provider in the clinic, while also taking the time to explain the various parts of the eye to other volunteers observing in the clinic. Thank you Jonathan for your help.

Pictures from the OCEP clinic on July 12, 2025.

Thank you to all the volunteers who came by that day. It was more than a full house, with 32 volunteers attending the clinic, apart from patients, provider and staff!

We generally try to avoid having too many volunteers in one clinic, since we want to make sure every volunteer gets a chance to be involved in some aspects of patient care, experiencing first-hand the work they do and how it affects the patients we serve. But this clinic was certainly an exception!

Scanning the retina or the front of the eye are important diagnostic tools for an eye clinic. The scans have to be performed well so that the Provider can get all the relevant information to decide the management and treatment for a patient.

In the picture. Rene watches Faith do , while Kristy waits on the OCT for the next patient, while Sergio watches the OCT in progress.

Thank you all for your help and support. Your hard work performing these important diagnostic tests makes a huge different to how we provide standard of care to our patients.
