Eye Health Education in Action! March 2, 2019

It was a family day of health career information and education at the first annual Olympia High School Health Career Fair, hosted by Providence of Southwest Washington. Dr. Penny Reck and our Marketing Coordinator, Sasha, attended on behalf of Clarus and had a blast! Using toy microscopes, petri dishes displaying images of the fundus, forceps and tape, they were able to demonstrate the basic concept of an epiretinal membrane peel (a surgical process where scar tissue is removed from the surface of the retina). Dr. Reck shared the simulation with kids of all ages (and even some adults, including physicians in other fields who were there representing other practices). Additionally, everyone learned a lot more about the career possibilities that exist in the world of eye care!
