The Jones Eye Institute is dedicated to patient care, education and research. Our main mission is to fight blindness in our state, which ranks third in new cases of blindness each year. Philanthropy established Jones Eye Institute. As the economics of our institutions nationwide change, we rely more and more on gifts to support our mission.  All throughout the year, we are reminded how vital our supporters are; the Jones Eye Institute’s work is made possible through financial support from patients, friends and alumni who want to help.

Your gift to the Jones Eye Institute can help to support:

• Research on diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy
• Endowed faculty chairs and professorships that help us attract leading ophthalmologist sand researchers
• Expanding our research facilities and laboratories to accommodate additional researchers in other areas of eye disease
• Endowed scholarships, fellowships to assist deserving residents in their pursuits to specialize in ophthalmology
