Mission Statement
The mission of the UCLA Medical Center is to provide excellent
patient care in support of the educational and scientific
programs of the schools of the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences.
About JSEI
Established in 1966, the Jules Stein Eye Institute represents
the culmination of a dream shared by ophthalmologist, businessman
and philanthropist Dr. Jules Stein and his wife Doris, of
creating a world-renowned center dedicated to the preservation
of vision and the prevention of blindness. The Institute's
comprehensive programs for the care of patients with eye disorders,
research in the vision sciences, education in the field of
ophthalmology and outreach to the community, coupled with
its state-of-the art facilities, have brought national and
international recognition to the Institute and UCLA. Many
have contributed to this tradition of excellence and many
more will carry it forward as the Institute continues its
mission to advance ophthalmology worldwide.
The Jules Stein Eye Institute originated with a concept for
a comprehensive center for vision science at UCLA, magnanimous
philanthropy by Dr. Jules and Mrs. Doris Stein, and endorsement
by the University Regents. Conceived in 1961, a dedicated
physical facility for the Institute became a reality in 1966.
Progressive programs of eye research, education and patient
care have placed the Institute among the world's great centers for vision science.
Plans for an additional facility and imminent breakthroughs
in clinical and laboratory research, enabling new treatments
for patients during the 21st century, promise to elevate the
Institute to the next and higher level of achievement in eradicating
blindness and preserving vision.
JSEI AFFILIATES
The Jules and Doris Stein UCLA Support Group launched the
JSEI Affiliates in 1990 as a broad-based volunteer network
to serve the Jules Stein Eye Institute. The Affiliates' mission
is to support the faculty, staff and programs of the Institute
and provide outreach to the greater Los Angeles community
through vision science education and patient services. Several
integrated programs were created to meet this ambitious goal.
Community Outreach and Vision Education
The JSEI Affiliates Community Outreach and Vision Education
committees focus on a wide range of vision education and community
service programs. Programs such as Vision In-School and Community-Insight
provide vision education to groups ranging from elementary
school students to local senior citizens, while the Preschool
Vision Screening program provides vision screenings to preschool-aged
children throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
Patient Services
In addition to outreach and vision education programs, the
JSEI Affiliates offer several patient service programs. The
Make Surgery Bearable program provides plush Dr. Teddy MD
teddy bears to each and every pediatric patient undergoing
eye surgery at the Institute. The bears are a small token
to help children feel secure during a scary time.
Other patient programs include the Shared Vision and MagniVision
programs. Shared Vision is an eyeglass collection and recycling
program benefiting those in need. The MagniVision program
provides funding for the lending library of low-vision aids
at the Institute's Vision Rehabilitation Center.
