Patient Care

What sets patient care at the John A. Moran Eye Center apart from other vision care options available today? To begin with, we have the largest team of highly skilled eye care specialists between Texas and California ­ professionals who can, if needed, collaborate to meet your eye care needs.

At the Moran Eye Center, it's not uncommon to see two or three prominent ophthalmology specialists in the same exam room with one patient. Where else would you find a retinal disease specialist consulting with a physician who is both a neuro-ophthalmologist and an oculoplastic and facial plastic surgeon, together consulting with an ocular pathologist? You may never need these three physicians at the same time, but it's nice to know they're available for you. The center's clinical faculty members are available to see patients with virtually any eye disorder.

Our specialties include cornea and external eye disease, cataract, comprehensive ophthalmology, corneal disease and refractive surgery, LASIK, intraocular lenses, glaucoma, optometry and contact lens, uveitis and ocular infectious disease, ocular pathology, pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus, neuro ophthalmology, oculoplastic and facial plastic surgery, retinal diseases and surgery, electrophysiology and a unique counseling program to help patients and their families cope with visual impairment.

Clinical care services at the John A. Moran Eye Center include three fully equipped operating rooms, 25 examination rooms, minor procedure rooms, laser suites, an optical shop, a pharmacy and the Utah Lions Eye Bank.

In addition to the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah, we manage 11 satellite clinics and optical centers along the Wasatch Front, making university ophthalmologists more accessible to patients.
