Scientific excellence and compassion drive progress at the Emory Eye Center. As one of the nation’s top-ranking eye care, education, and research facilities, the center offers high-quality, patient-centered care for the most complex eye diseases and disorders. Our physicians and researchers are leaders in discovery, taking ideas from the lab and translating them into new approaches to vision care.

Today the Emory Eye Center remains at the forefront of vision research with investigators exploring research in the areas of macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetes, hereditary retinal disease, diseases of the cornea, children’s eye diseases, visual problems related to the nervous system, and oculoplastic surgery.

Emory’s leadership begins with the basic sciences, where innovative ideas are born, and continues through every phase of research. Philanthropy has made many innovations possible at Emory, and opportunities to advance eye research have never been better.
