Advancing Vision Science for a Healthier World

For nearly 80 years, Doheny Eye Institute has been a pioneering leader in vision research, dedicated to the conservation, improvement and restoration of human eyesight. Through groundbreaking studies and innovative tech-nological advancements, Doheny continues to make signiĂżcant contributions to the Ăżeld of ophthalmology in its effort to work toward the eradication of preventable blindness.

A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE IN VISION SCIENCE

Doheny is recognized worldwide for its cut-ting-edge research in retinal diseases, glaucoma, corneal disorders, uveitis, diabetic retinopathy, and neuro-ophthalmology. While focusing on vision-threatening conditions, Doheny scien-tists are working to better identify and under-stand the early symptoms and mechanisms of eye disease, with the goal of developing more effective therapies and treatments. Doheny scientists also continue to pioneer new appli-cations of artiÿcial intelligence to improve the diagnosis of ocular diseases. Doheny’s afÿliation with UCLA enhances opportunities for cross-collaboration, real-time application of scientiÿc breakthroughs, and expanded research-sharing within the scientiÿc community. Together, Doheny and UCLA Stein Eye Institutes are ranked in the Top 5 vision centers in the country by U.S. News & World Report.

COMMUNITY IMPACT AND OUTREACH

Based in Pasadena, Doheny has brought advanced vision research and innovation to its local and scientiĂżc communities. Through research papers, symposiums, conference ses-sions and more, Doheny has positioned itself as a trusted source of knowledge by sharing insights on breakthrough discoveries and advancements in understanding eye disease. Beyond research, Doheny supports the edu-cation of the next generation of ophthalmolo-gists, connecting scientists and vision specialists through alumni networking events, lectures and continuing medical education programs. These efforts ensure that local and global vision care providers have access to cutting-edge research and innovative techniques, advancing the future of eye disease diagnosis and treatment.

BECOME A PARTNER IN VISION SCIENCE

As a nonproĂżt organization, Doheny relies on the support of donors, partners and com-munity advocates to drive its mission forward. Philanthropy plays a crucial role in funding breakthrough research, state-of-the-art technology, and education programs that empower future generations of eye care professionals and vision scientists. Doheny remains a pillar of the Greater Los Angeles nonproĂżt and medical community, making a tangible difference in public health and well-being. Through its commitment to scientiĂżc discovery, education and outreach, Doheny continues to push the boundaries of vision science, ensuring that the future of eye care remains bright for patients in Los Angeles and beyond.
