\nSeveral employees of the Truhlsen Eye Institute and the UNMC Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences participated in the April 17 health fair, which was held at the Union Pacific Railroad's Harriman Dispatching Center in Omaha. UNMC provided free screenings for glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and eye problems related to diabetes. More than 80 Union Pacific employees and their family members underwent screenings. <\/p>\n

\n“This was a wonderful outreach event for the Truhlsen Eye Institute,” said Yasir Sepah, M.B.B.S., director of the OIRRC at TEI. “We were able to identify several serious cases of ocular diseases, including one with a retinal detachment which required immediate care on the same day of the screen, as well as  other cases that needed attention within one to two months.<\/p>\n

\n"It was a great opportunity for us to help people in the community and demonstrate what a valuable resource the Truhlsen Eye Institute is for the city of Omaha and the state of Nebraska.”<\/p>\n
