Opportunities for Giving

Established in 1925, the University of Iowa Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences is proud to be a leader in providing excellent eye care; conducting innovative and sight-saving research; and training future ophthalmologists and researchers who are dedicated to patient care, education, and research.

For decades, the UI has been recognized as one of the best ophthalmology education programs in the nation, and we continue to enjoy this distinction today.

Much of this reputation stems from a long history of combining a world-renowned faculty with some of the top residents and fellows in the field of ophthalmology and visual sciences.

The clinics and services within the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences represent a broad array of study about the eye and vision.
