    A client can receive a full comprehensive eye exam and will be provided a pair of glasses if needed (Bifocals included) which will be delivered to the Pacific Clinics site the client had the vision services in 3-4 weeks. The UCLA Liaison will be responsible in distributing the glasses to the clients or the client’s treatment team.

There is no prescription limitation, but UCLA mobile Eye Clinic is unable to order progressive or transitions (unless there is a medical reason for it.).
    Please Note: A client may receive a referral to an external eye care provider such as a specialist for additional vision services. Also, if a client has a medical condition that affects their vision for example Diabetes, UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic Dr. will provide the client with a referral based on the outcome of their eye exam for the client to follow up with their primary care doctor.
