Westminister Oxnard Eye Clinic

Beginning in 2016, vision services doubled. In addition to free eye exams, glasses and diabetic retinopathy screening, we perform cataract and glaucoma screenings as well. Ophthalmologists and optometrists volunteer to make these services possible. Volunteer ophthalmologists are needed to provide cataract surgeries and eye surgeries for retinal bleeds at their place of work. Over 25 life-changing surgeries have been performed thus far, and our patients are able to see again, allowing them to work and drive safely. Ophthalmologists also monitor and provide medication for patients with glaucoma.
Volunteer optometrists and ophthalmologists in partnership with SEE International, The Rotary Club of Ventura, The Lions Club and Salvation Army made it possible to provide 450 free eye exams and glasses to patients at WFC in 2021. Patients go to WFC’s Oxnard clinic for free glasses and eye exams, and patients go to WFC’s Thousand Oaks clinic for medical eye conditions where the volunteer Ophthalmologists and their equipment is located.
Helping people see so they can live their lives, work, and go to school are all part of the Westminster Clinic’s mission of supporting the whole health of our families. Through many community partnerships and your support we can make a big impact together.
