UOG patients now have the increased benefits of additional clinical technology and patient services, such as expanded optical services, expanded contact lens options and on-site access to specialty clinics, such as the Dry Eye Relief Clinic at UAB Eye Care. Patients are also able to request prescription refills through an online patient portal and can utilize electronic medical records.

Free parking is available to patients in a lot adjacent to the UAB Eye Care building. Street parking is also available, and UAB employees may be within walking distance.

UAB Eye Care is the clinical operation of the UAB School of Optometry, which is an integral part of the UAB Medical Center. Our state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary clinic is outfitted with the latest optometric equipment necessary for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of most eye problems.
