The Stein Eye Institute is in the midst of one of the largest transformations in its history, and the groundbreaking of the Edie and Lew Wasserman Building in October 2010 signaled a beginning of exciting new changes to come.

The UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic is a vital element of the Center for Community Outreach, one of six centers in the Stein Eye Institute.
 
Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology and Director of the Stein Eye Institute Dr. Bartly Mondino  is leading efforts to develop a complex that reflects a broader global perspective for the 21st century.
 
“Since its inception, the Stein Eye Institute has been at the forefront of efforts to preserve sight and restore vision,” Mondino said, “and we have proudly earned an international reputation in basic science, clinical research, and patient care. With the addition of the ELW (Edie and Lew Wasserman Building), the institute can expand existing programs and create new ones.”
 
Many of the institute’s new programs will be housed within six centers. To read about the centers, see this story in Eye magazine.
