Comprehensive Care
Physicians provide comprehensive care in nearly all ophthalmic subspecialties, making the Moran Eye Center a major referral center for complex cases, with more than 142,000 patient visits and 7,000 surgeries annually. Moran also supports 15 research labs, where internationally awarded faculty, including one of the world's top retinal teams, are developing the treatments of tomorrow.
Faculty train 12 fellows and four residents each year in one of the nation's most selective and unique programs, identified as a model by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks Moran among its Best Hospitals for Ophthalmology.
Moran CEO and Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Chair Randall J Olson, MD, leads more than 500 employees working to ensure Moran's mission that no person with a blinding condition, eye disease, or visual impairment should be without hope, understanding, and treatment.
