UAB opening new eye clinic on Cahaba River Road

UAB Callahan Eye Hospital is opening a new full-service clinic on Cahaba River Road, just across the street from Heavenly Donut Company.

The clinic, located in the Altadena community, is set to open on Nov. 1 and will offer the same services as the on-campus clinic at UAB. These services include adult and pediatric ophthalmology and optometry services as well as eye exams, eyeglasses and contact lenses, cataract evaluations, glaucoma screenings, diagnostic imaging and an optical store with eyeglasses and sunglasses.

“We are pleased to expand our pediatric and adult ophthalmology and optometry clinical services into the Cahaba River area and the surrounding communities,” said UAB Callahan Eye Hospital Chief Operating Officer Rett J. Grover. “This location will improve patient access to pediatric eye care and will also provide glaucoma, cornea and comprehensive adult ophthalmology services.”

Patients can begin making appointments now by calling 325-8620 or by visiting the official clinic website.
