School of Optometry

As the outreach arm of the School of Optometry and its UAB Eye Care clinics, the UAB Community Eye Care program has been serving the local community for 40 years. Through this program, UABSO faculty, staff, and student interns provide vision care and services at many area schools, senior centers, community events, and local shelters year-round. The program has a clinic within the Jefferson County Department of Health’s new Western Health Center in Midfield, and also sees patients on a regular basis at The Foundry in Bessemer, the Lovelady Center in East Lake, PATH Clinic on Birmingham's southside, and the United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham’s Adult Day Program at LincPoint in Homewood. In addition to serving the local Birmingham community, the CEC program partners with other UAB programs and entities to provide care in many communities within the Black Belt region of Alabama.

Your gift will help us continue to provide essential eye care to those who may not otherwise have access. With your support, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and families in our community.
