THE UNI VERS I TY EYE CENTER HAS BEEN A V I TAL RESOURCE to the New York City region for

decades, providing cutting-edge eye and vision care to an expanding patient base within our community and

beyond. Last October, when our region was struck by Hurricane Sandy, the resulting week-long loss of utility service

in our neighborhood had a major impact on our ability to communicate with our patients. Yet despite this enormous

challenge, the UEC rebounded successfully. Over the course of the year, we focused on streamlining our delivery

of care in order to prepare for the implementation of the groundbreaking Affordable Care Act and provide the best

experience for our patients as well as the doctors, residents and student interns who treat them.

G O A L :

We will deliver effective and compassionate eye and vision care in an innovative and accessible way.
