Operating Rooms
Four fully equipped, specially designed operating rooms and a laser
unit at the Jules Stein Eye Institute are available for ophthalmic
surgery of all types. The ophthalmic surgery suite accommodates
special instruments, such as operating microscopes with attached
video cameras to record procedures, phacoemulsification units, comprehensive
vitreoretinal surgery equipment, and endoscopic viewing systems.
Available lasers include an adjustable dye laser, neodymium-YAG
laser, diode laser, and excimer laser. Additional laser units are
involved in protocol studies. The surgical area has space and facilities
for patient preparation, anesthesia induction, surgery, and immediate
postoperative recovery, in addition to a variety of essential supporting
activities.
Patient Examination Suites
The Institute's patient examination suites provide congenial patient
reception areas and include fully equipped and self-contained patient
examination units. The examination units, specifically designed
to promote the patient's comfort during eye care visits, are furnished
with electrically adjustable chairs. Diagnostic and therapeutic
equipment is mounted on an adjacent stand and arranged around the
patient. A complete and precise ocular examination can thus be performed
while the patient remains comfortably in one location. A centrally
automated unit is available for visual acuity testing, automated
perimetry, electronic refraction, pneumotonometry, and other advanced
ophthalmic examination procedures.
Inpatient and Outpatient Unit
The inpatient and outpatient unit of the Jules Stein Eye Institute
reflects surgical advances that have made hospitalization unnecessary
in many cases. It includes a nurses' control center and rooms suitable
for the 24-hour care of 16 - 17 adult and pediatric patients. It
also includes space for 30 - 31 patients recovering from outpatient
surgery.
University Ophthalmology Associates
University Ophthalmology Associates is a multi-specialty group
practice that provides medical and surgical care in all ophthalmic
subspecialty areas. Its Contact Lens Service offers general vision
care, as well as difficult and special contact lens fittings. Participation
of Institute ophthalmologists and optometrists is supported by the
rotation of community-based faculty, ophthalmology fellows and residents.
Optical Shop
An optical shop is conveniently located on the first floor of the
Doris Stein Eye Research Center to assist patients with their optical
needs. Staffed by 2 licensed opticians, the shop is able to fill
all eyeglass prescriptions including the most complex. It offers
a large selection of designer and budget eyeglass frames for adults
and children, as well as sunglasses and eyewear accessories.
