Doheny Eye Centers

Doheny Eye Institute is an independent, nonprofit ophthalmic research and education organization affiliated with UCLA Stein Eye Institute, with patient care delivered through Doheny Eye Center UCLA by UCLA Health physicians. The organization focuses on vision research, ophthalmic imaging, clinician education, and specialty eye care across major disease areas such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, retinal disorders, and corneal disease. Its best-known translational and service platforms include the Doheny Image Reading Center and the Doheny Image Reading and Research Lab, which provide standardized interpretation of ophthalmic images for clinical research and industry studies. Doheny also operates eye care clinics in Southern California and supports clinical trials, advanced diagnostics, and education programs in ophthalmology. It is best characterized as a mission-driven eye institute rather than a drug-development biotech company.
