Jeff Pettey, MD, MBA, co-created our Operation Sight Day in 2012 to help people who had nowhere else to turn to get sight-restoring cataract surgery. Today, we are honored to restore hope in our community.

Operation Sight Day is underway on this beautiful Saturday morning! A volunteer crew of our doctors and medical staff are giving the gift of vision to 15 people suffering with cataracts.

[Elizabeth Neff @ElizabethNeff]

Every day I enjoy the view @MoranEyeCenter. Today’s #OperationSight event will make sure 15 people in our community who had little hope to see again can get back to their lives and enjoy the simple things, too! ❤️

Amazing research update: A prosthesis hardwired into the visual regions of the brain has provided a form of artificial vision to three blind people! Moran adjunct Eduardo Fernandez is leading the project, which uses the Utah Electrode Array. https://t.co/kvPPylMdgT

Clear vision CHANGES LIVES at all ages! Our Hope in Sight outreach clinic is assisting 30+ patients and many new Americans today. A beloved grandmother can now see clearly, and a five-year-old is ready for school with his first pair of eyeglasses. #SeeTheNeedBeTheChange

How do neurons die? Can we revive them?

Amazing #NEIfunded work with #retina as a CNS model. Implications for disease treatment, reversibility of cell death, model systems for disease.

We hope this work will encourage scientists and organ donor societies to work together to scale up access to viable human nerve tissue. We believe this can make a big impact on our understanding of how our nervous system works and how it is affected in aging and disease.

Hope. Understanding. Treatment. I could not be more inspired by the mission of where I work @MoranEyeCenter and the brilliant people I have the privilege of working with. @neurofim @BWJones @fvinberg #Inspiration

Thanks to @NatEyeInstitute @NIH @RPB_org and @DiabetesRsrch for supporting this exciting, breakthrough research from our @fvinberg @neurofim @BWJones, & Silke Becker, MD! #retina https://t.co/6D1lVo5VGO

[Moran Eye Center @MoranEyeCenter]

We could not have achieved this research milestone without donor eyes. We are deeply grateful. @Utah_Eye_Bank, @SDEyeBank 🙏 #donor https://t.co/6D1lVo5VGO

[Moran Eye Center @MoranEyeCenter]

Amazing new research from our @fvinberg @neurofim @BWJones, & Silke Becker, MD now in @Nature. Using the #retina as a model of the central nervous system they investigated how neurons die—and revived them.
