The Jules Stein Eye Institute facilities include two multistoried
structures of architectural note. The five-story Jules Stein Eye
Institute building of neoclassical design is the original facility,
constructed in 1966. An expansion and companion building, the Doris
Stein Eye Research Center, followed in 1989. A graceful portico
and a conference center complex connect these two buildings. The
facilities are located at the southern gateway to the University
of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus, and situated within the
UCLA Center for Health Sciences complex at the UCLA School of Medicine.

to the Institute
The Institute reflects the considerable architectural knowledge
and taste of Dr and Mrs Jules Stein, who believed that the special
attention given to design created an uplifting environment for patients,
visitors and staff alike. The facilities complement each other in
design and function and together provide over 190,000 square feet
of dedicated space to accommodate the Institute's patient care,
education, research and community service programs.
Jules Stein Eye Institute
The Institute's five-story main building, occupying 110,000 square
feet, contains outpatient treatment centers, an inpatient/outpatient
unit, four operating rooms devoted exclusively to ophthalmic surgery,
ophthalmic laser facilities and a full complement of clinical laboratories
for special ophthalmic studies. It also includes areas for basic
science research related to vision, a pathology laboratory, a microsurgery
teaching laboratory and an ophthalmology library with the latest
audiovisual and computer equipment.
Doris Stein Eye Research Center
The Doris Stein Eye Research Center, a freestanding four-story
building adjacent to the Institute's main building, provides an
additional 67,000 square feet for clinical and laboratory research,
patient care activities, ophthalmic photography, optical dispensing
and computer-related services. It also houses the Clinical Research
Center, which provides core support for patient-based research studies.
A conference center complex, including the 156-seat Research to
Prevent Blindness Auditorium, links the two buildings and accommodates
the Institute's education and community service programs.
