For over 40 years, the UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic (UMEC) has been providing free eye care services and glasses for underserved communities in Los Angeles County.
UMEC and its staff of ophthalmologists, ophthalmology residents, technicians, and volunteers make visits to hundreds of Southern California community locations annually to deliver free vision care to underserved communities. Ophthalmologists perform free basic eye examinations to determine the need for prescriptive lenses and to rule out the need for further treatment of any eye condition or disease.
Established in 1975 by an anonymous donor, the clinic is a community outreach program of the UCLA Stein Eye Institute. Stein Eye has the longest continuously operating eye clinic on wheels in the USA. UMEC recently celebrated more than 40 years of operation.
UMEC was honored as the recipient of the 2015 Innovation Award for Community Service by the Los Angeles County Medical Association and the Patient Care Foundation of Los Angeles County. UMEC is recognized for its exemplary leadership in shaping the future of healthcare and improving access to health services and education for children and families in struggling communities. We were also recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal as a nominee at the 2016 Healthcare Leadership Forum and Awards.
