    Giving & Outreach

    At Moran, we believe no person with a blinding condition, eye disease, or visual impairment should be without hope, understanding, and treatment.

    Giving

    Our goal at the Moran Eye Center is to provide the best eye care available while finding better treatments and cures for blinding conditions. We aim to be one of the premier ophthalmic research institutions in the world. This is only possible with the private financial support of friends and donors like you.

    Outreach

    There are 39 million people who are blind worldwide. Four out of every five blind people could be cured at a modern eye clinic, but most lack access to care because there aren’t enough doctors. The Moran Eye Center trains doctors, nurses, and other eye care professionals in more than 25 countries.
