Giving to Yale Ophthalmology & Visual Science

Yale Ophthalmology & Visual Science celebrates the gift of sight. Our life’s work is to preserve this gift of sight and provide compassionate, patient-centered care.

Yale Ophthalmology & Visual Science plays a key role in medical and surgical advances that protect sight and is uniquely positioned to stay at the forefront of scientific discovery. To accelerate our mission, we are seeking philanthropic partnerships to fund critical advancements in:

• Delivering cutting-edge patient care.
• Advancing world-class translational and clinical research.
• Modernizing medical education through innovative technologies.

These initiatives allow us to pioneer new methods to treat, prevent, and cure vision-threatening diseases.

Yale Ophthalmology & Visual Science has unparalleled excellence in advancing the understanding and treatment of retinal diseases and other eye conditions that cause vision loss and blindness. Your support can help fund our world-class diagnostic and treatment facilities, physicians, and scientists.

Your investment will enable us to continue unrivaled patient care to all who find their sight threatened by illness or injury. The need today is even greater as we strive for innovative therapies to preserve sight from conditions as glaucoma, macular degeneration and other eye diseases that are still major causes of blindness.

When you make a gift, Yale Ophthalmology & Visual Science can put your contribution to work immediately by supporting current programs or building reliable sources to grow its endowment.

We are developing a state-of-the art wet lab designed to provide residents and fellows with immersive, hands-on surgical training. This facility will:

• Enhance resident education and surgical skills development, providing a platform for innovation and discovery.
• Elevate Yale Ophthalmology as a leader in ophthalmic training.

This wet lab will be a cornerstone of the departments' growth and a lasting resource for generations to come.
