Documentary Premiere of "Jules Stein Eye Institute: A Celebration of Our Founders"
The Department of Ophthalmology is thrilled to share Jules Stein Eye Institute: A Celebration of Our Founders, an original interview documentary featuring the founding chair of the Institute, Bradley R. Straatsma, MD, JD. Dr. Straatsma reminisces upon his personal journey in ophthalmology, as well as his relationship with Dr. Jules Stein and the world of Hollywood. With the use of recently recovered archival footage, the documentary takes the audience to the initial chapter of the Institute’s story and provides inspiration for the future. An internal premiere of the film will occur in June 2025.
New Home, Same Vision: A Celebration of Doheny Eye Center UCLA, Pasadena
On March 4th, we celebrated an exciting milestone at the Doheny Eye Institute campus: the official ribbon-cutting for our brand-new clinic! Previously spread across multiple suites at Huntington Pavilion, our clinical team now has a state-of-the-art, centralized space on the first floor of the clinic in Pasadena. This new location enhances patient care, fosters collaboration, and marks a new era for Doheny and UCLA Stein’s commitment to excellence in ophthalmology.
To celebrate this milestone, a celebration will occur June 2025 at Doheny Eye Center-UCLA Pasadena. Invites were circulated via email.
