Innovations

We are proud to present Innovations, a publication describing some of the discoveries, innovations and advancements occurring in ophthalmology research and clinical care at OHSU Casey Eye Institute. At Casey, our programs have regional and national prominence. We are utilizing the power of world-class facilities to identify and treat the most complicated eye diseases, and we are leveraging the power of telemedicine to extend highly subspecialized care to patients across our region.

This publication highlights just a few of our programs that make OHSU Casey Eye Institute a leader in ophthalmic care. We are excited to be part of this transformative time in providing care.

Advancing surgery in gene therapy

Children born with inherited retinal dystrophies typically face a lifetime of diminishing vision and eventual blindness. But a new gene therapy - the first FDA-approved treatment for a genetic disorder - is revolutionizing our ability to preserve eyesight and improve quality of life in those affected. OHSU Casey Eye Institute was one of the first institutions in the U.S. to administer this sight-saving treatment, an accomplishment made possible because of its longstanding expertise in the field of ophthalmic genetics.
