Dr.Shama Deen, volunteer optometrist.
Nirmal Saran M.D. Ophthalmologist
Patients in need of eye examinations are seen at our monthly Eye Clinic where an optometrist performs an eye screening exam and a prescription for corrective lens is provided when indicated. Eighteen patients were seen in 2010 at the Eye Care clinic. Once a month an area volunteer ophthalmologist provides free consultation and treatment to indigent patients referred from the AlShifa clinic. A volunteer optometrist provides services once a month. Because so many of our patients are diabetic, we are exploring funding sources to purchase the needed equipment to screen those patients for glaucoma.
