About us
Doheny Eye Institute is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to further the conservation, improvement and restoration of human eyesight. Mrs. Carrie Estelle Doheny, wife of the prominent Los Angeles oilman Edward L. Doheny, lost the sight in her left eye at the age of 69. Suddenly aware of the precious and delicate nature of the gift of sight, in 1947 Mrs. Doheny created the organization named for her. Today, the Doheny Eye Institute serves thousands of patients in clinics around Los Angeles and Orange Counties and has emerged as a world leader in basic and clinical vision research and advanced patient care. The Institute's innovative research programs continually result in new diagnostic and treatment procedures and are respected internationally for research of the highest caliber, with direct impact on changing lives with improved sight In December 2013, UCLA’s Stein Eye Institute and the Doheny Eye Institute signed a long-term affiliation agreement. Under terms of the affiliation agreement there is a single integrated UCLA Department of Ophthalmology underlying both Institutes comprising Doheny-affiliated physicians and Stein physicians. The clinical enterprise will function as a single entity. Patients will encounter the same patient experience and range of services at any of the locations. Resources of both institutes will be dedicated to preeminence in patient care, research and education and will benefit the faculty of the UCLA Department of Ophthalmology.

Among Doheny’s most significant resources is the Doheny Image Reading Center (DIRC), uniquely capable of providing industry partners/sponsors with expert and consistent analysis of high resolution images of discrete regions of the eye. DIRC “evaluators” use proprietary technologies and algorithms as well as imaging device software to characterize and quantify changes in the eye, leading to better diagnoses and treatments and to the development of new therapies.

While Doheny scientists spend every day researching eye disease to help support vision for all, there are ways you can help protect your own eye health. UV protected sunglasses are an important way to help limit future eye damage when you're spending a lot of time outside in the sunny summer weather. Stay protected (and look cool) all summer. #UVSafetyMonth
