From basic eye exams to the most advanced diagnostic tests and sophisticated surgery, the physicians and staff at the Shiley Eye Center provide comprehensive eye care at one convenient location. Immediately adjacent to Shiley, The Anne and Abraham Ratner Children’s Eye Center is the only dedicated eye facility in the region designed to meet the very special vision needs of children. In Fall 2003, the new Joan and Irwin Jacobs Retina Center and the Hamilton Glaucoma Center opened their doors to continue the cutting edge research and practice led by Shiley Center physicians.

Built in 1991, the Shiley Eye Center is home to academic and basic research, innovative and unique surgical practices and patient treatment for a wide variety of ophthalmologic concerns. Eleven permanent practicing physician faculty members, nine PhD or MD research scientists, eighteen fellows and eight residents work to bring new solutions to light.

Dedicated to serving those members of our population of all ages who face challenges associated with poor or restricted vision, Center for Community Ophthalmology programs reach out to bring eye testing to the San Diego Head Start Program and Public Schools with the EyeMobile for Children. A self-management educational program assists those who are afflicted with Macular Degeneration providing the means to cope with the illness and its side effects so that they can better function within society.
