Coronavirus Updates

Appointments & Surgeries

Moran Eye Center clinics are open for all appointments and elective surgeries, following a pause in services because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you had a clinic or surgery appointment postponed, we will be contacting you to reschedule it. If you need a new appointment, please call 801-581-2352.

We will work with you to determine whether a telehealth visit, an in-person visit, or postponing your appointment is most appropriate depending on your care need and your individual risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Your Safety is Our Primary Concern

We are taking significant measures to ensure Moran clinics and operating rooms maintain the highest levels of safety. Learn more in this letter from Moran CEO Randall J Olson, MD, and in the video below. Thank you for trusting the Moran Eye Center with your eye care.

    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.
