– Calendar is updated as of August 12, 2026.
For Providers:
- Clinic availability: Please look in the table for the column “Provider” and the Specialty. If that day does not have a Provider’s name, and mentions “TBD”, you should be able to choose that date/day for the clinic.
- Two clinics in a day: In case there is already a clinic scheduled for one half of the day, and you are available the other half, please let us know and we can organize a clinic for you. For e.g., if there is a clinic one Saturday morning, and you are available in the afternoon, we can schedule an afternoon clinic for you. Please note that it is a preference for the program not to have two clinics of the same specialty on the same day, which prevents patients requiring other specialities to have access to eye care.
- Weekday clinics: As you may note, we also organize clinics during the week depending on your availability. If you are not able to come on weekends, but would rather come on weekday, please let us know your preference and we will work with you to organize a clinic.
Thank you for your support and help!
For Volunteers:
- Only medical students are allowed for surgery days at this time. Check the surgery dates here. Hence, if you are not a medical student, please do not request for scheduling on a surgery day.
- Please send an email to info(at)retinaglobal(dot)org mentioning your interest in volunteering and your availability. Once you complete the application form, we will check availability and confirm the dates in response. Thank you for helping support the OCEP program!
