About the JOHN A. MORAN EYE CENTER at the University of Utah

The John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah serves as the largest ophthalmology clinical care and research facility in the Mountain West with more than 60 faculty members and 10 satellite clinics.

Physicians provide comprehensive care in all ophthalmic subspecialties, making the Moran Eye Center a major referral center for complex cases with over 145,000 patient visits and about 7,000 surgeries annually.

Moran also supports 17 research labs and centers, where internationally-awarded faculty, including one of the world’s top retinal teams, are developing the treatments of tomorrow.

Faculty train 12 residents, four interns, and up to 13 fellows each year in one of the nation’s most selective and unique academic programs.

U.S. News & World Report ranks Moran No. 10 nationwide on its 2022-2023 Best Hospitals for Ophthalmology report. Ophthalmology Times surveys evaluating clinical, care and research rank Moran in the nation’s Top 10. Doximity.com ranks Moran's residency program at No. 5 nationwide.

Moran CEO and Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Chair Randall J Olson, MD, leads more than 500 employees working to achieve Moran’s vision that no person with a blinding condition, eye disease, or visual impairment should be without hope, understanding, and treatment.

Funded by donors, the Moran Eye Center Global Outreach Division carries out this vision on a global scale by providing services to underserved Utahns at no cost and by training doctors in developing countries to sustainably expand access to care.
