Eye Care Specialists
“A true healer is not the one with magical powers, but the one who does everything in their power to help those in need.”
We are supported by eye care specialists from around Southern California, who find the time to staff the clinic and provide specialized care to the patients.
Providers are, by nature, healers – hence they want to help those who need help. That is why some eye care specialists travel to the far corners of earth to evaluate and treat patients who generally do not have access to eye care. Which is a wonderful thing to do.
For those who cannot find the time to travel to far-off places, you can volunteer right here, close to where you live and work. It takes only four hours of your time!
Calling Eye Care Providers, we hope to see you in the OCEP clinic soon. Please check our calendar page to provide us with your availability. Thank you!
Our clinics are supported by those with experience in various aspects of eye care – including intake/history, vision, IOP, OCT (retina, RNFL, anterior segment), scribe, etc. You will only be evaluating patients and providing your management opinion. If you are not able to speak a language with a patient, we will have a translator in the room for you. Once you finish the examination, our exit counselors discuss the outcome with the patient and respond to any questions they may have.
Once you complete the application process, you are credentialed by the clinic and covered by our liability policy.
