The Jules Stein Eye Institute was established in 1966 as part of the Center for the Health Sciences and the School of Medicine
at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Planning for the Institute began in 1961 when the UCLA Faculty of Ophthalmology
approached Jules Stein and the Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc. Foundation for assistance in the development of vision
science center. The building was not formally completed until March 2, 1967. However, the scientific activities of the Institute
began immediately after the building's dedication on November 3, 1966. The construction, maintenance, and equipping of the
Institute was largely funded through private philanthropy. This effort was led by Jules Stein, who prompted support from other
donors.
The Institute's focus is on the preservation of vision and the prevention of blindness. It provides services in research,
education, and patient care. The Institute, in conjunction with the Department of Ophthalmology, offers academic training,workshops,
and other programming. Research activities cover a range of vision science areas as well ophthalmology. Additionally, the
Institute provides community outreach services such as the Mobile Eye Clinic, the Eye Donor Program, Shared Vision (an eyeglass
recycling program), MagniVision (a lending library of low-vision aids), and other community education programs.
Record Series 11 contains the annual reports of the activities of the Jules Stein Eye Institute from 1961-1985.
This is an active record series; additional University records are expected to be added.
