Library
The Library houses a collection of books and periodicals related
to ophthalmology. The capacious reading and work area is augmented
by display racks and moving-aisle storage. Study carrels include
computer terminals, personal computers, printers, audiovisual cassette
players, and a slide viewer. The Library computers provide access
to the Internet, to medical and general scientific journal citation
databases, and to book and journal catalog information for all UCLA
libraries. The Library houses the offices of the Librarian, the
Research Programs staff, and the Scientific Editor. It also contains
a small conference room; a larger conference room is in an adjacent
area.
Jules Stein Auditorium and Conference Center
An impressive Auditorium and Conference Center for professional
and community educational programs is located between the Jules
Stein and Doris Stein buildings. The Research to Prevent Blindness
Auditorium, a combined lecture hall and theatre seating 156 people,
offers sophisticated audiovisual equipment and language translation
space. The adjacent Adam Room, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Oppenheimer,
is reconstructed from an 18th century English house. It provides
a unique setting for select conferences. Facilities for food service
and other amenities supporting education programs for the UCLA School
of Medicine and the community are part of the complex.
Microsurgery Teaching Laboratory
The ophthalmic microsurgery laboratory provides a variety of research
and clinical education services for Institute faculty, staff, residents
and fellows. Accredited by the Chancellor's Animal Research Committee,
the laboratory affords principal investigators and their researchers
a central surgical area for animal ocular experimentation. The laboratory
also forms an integral part of the Institute's clinical teaching
programs. It is used for the first-year resident's microsurgery
course. Under the guidance of volunteer clinical faculty members,
residents learn basic procedures such as ectropian and entropian
repair, lacrimal system probing and surgery, extracapsular cataract
extraction, phacoemulsification and corneal transplantation. The
laboratory is a resource that enables residents and fellows to hone
their surgical skills throughout their training. It hosts two major
conferences each year-the intraocular lens-phacoemulsification conference
and the aesthetic eyelid and orbitofacial surgery conference.
