It was a magical evening as hundreds of guests gathered at the Armenian EyeCare Project’s sold-out Gala on Saturday November 15, 2025 in Costa Mesa, California.

In partnership with the World Diabetes Foundation and Armenia’s Ministry of Health, AECP has been working to combat diabetes and its complications through our revolutionary Diabetes Program. As part of the program, we are pleased to share that AECP has officially established its first Diabetes Schools in Armenia with more to be developed in the coming year.
We are pleased to welcome our newest board member to AECP’s Board of Directors. Mr. Albert Shirakian, who serves as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Retina Vitreous Associates Medical Group in Los Angeles, joined AECP as a board member earlier this year.
During his life, Luther J. Khachigian was a dedicated and profound supporter of AECP and our mission in Armenia. In his passing, the late Khachigian continues to support our nonprofit’s sight-saving initiatives posthumously through his estate.
Today, AECP celebrates and honors Meredith J. Khachigian, a founding member of the AECP Board, for her incredible dedication and service. As she steps down from her role as a founding board member, we want to express our deepest gratitude for her unwavering commitment and countless contributions.
Our Mobile Eye Hospital is a surgical suite on wheels that delivers eye care to tens of thousands of Armenians each year who otherwise wouldn’t have access. Here are the stories of four Armenians who recently received treatment aboard our mobile clinic.
