Established in 2008, Bruins in Focus serves to promote community awareness of local, national, and international healthcare needs. We provide eye-related services to the local underserved populations and encourage them to seek comprehensive examinations by eye doctors. Our goal is to improve overall eye health and to eliminate preventable eye blindness.
Bruins in Focus participates in various health fairs throughout the quarter, where members have plenty of opportunities to sign up for different shifts. We provide members with the training needed to conduct vision screenings using the Snellen Eye Chart, which is our main responsibility at health fairs. Organizations that we collaborate with include the UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic with Jules Stein Eye Institute, Blind Childrens Center, Asian Pacific Health Corps (APHC), Mobile Clinic Project at UCLA, Black Hypertension Project, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and the Pre-Optometry Society.
We welcome any and all students who wish to learn more about the field of vision care or have a passion for serving the community. Bruins in Focus is a great place to meet others with similar interests and gain networking and educational opportunities along the way.
