The John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah continues to rank among the nation’s Top 10 eye centers, according to U.S. News & World Report.
The Moran Eye Center ranked No. 10 in the magazine’s 2023-2024 Best Hospitals for Ophthalmology report. U.S. News & World Report bases its rankings on voting results asking ophthalmologists nationwide where they would send their patients with the most complex eye conditions. U.S. News & World Report says its Best Hospitals issue aims to help patients make crucial health care decisions. For ophthalmology, the magazine only publishes rankings for institutions that receive at least 5% of votes over a three-year period.
“This ranking marks the second year for our institution in the Top 10, and we’re in good company,” said Moran CEO and University of Utah Distinguished Professor Randall J Olson, MD. “It is our privilege to provide expert, specialized eye care for patients throughout the Mountain West.”
