• About Us

  Emory Eye Center provides quality patient care, educates and trains eye professionals and conducts pioneering research into blinding eye diseases.

  Emory Eye Center is the largest, most comprehensive eye care facility in Georgia, with more than 100,000 patient visits annually. For more than 135 years, individuals of all ages have come to the Eye Center for care ranging from general examinations to treatment of the most complex vision disorders.

  With subspecialties in cornea, glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, ocular oncology/pathology, oculoplastics, pediatric ophthalmology and retina, the Center is seen as a place of innovative treatment and groundbreaking research. It is also a fertile training ground for physicians.

  U.S. News & World Report has named Emory Eye Center one of the nation's top-ranked eye hospitals from 1994 to 2012 (the duration of their rankings for this medical specialty). Ophthalmology Times, a news publication written by and for physicians, regularly ranks Emory Eye Center as one of the top ten eye centers in the country in their surveys of chairmen and directors of residency programs.

  Main facilities for patient-care services, physician education and basic science research are located on the Emory Healthcare/Emory University campus in Atlanta, Georgia, and encompass approximately 90,000 square feet on all seven floors of the south side of The Emory Clinic, Building B.

  Our physicians and specialists also serve patients at Grady Memorial Hospital—the primary training hospital for Emory; Emory University Hospital Midtown (formerly Crawford Long)—Medical Office Tower; Emory Vision (refractive surgery), retina service, and cornea service at The Emory Clinic, Perimeter; Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Egleston; Wesley Woods Hospital; Grady Regional Clinics; and 16 other hospitals and private practices not affiliated with Emory in metropolitan Atlanta and other cities in the Georgia.

  The Center's roots trace back to a time when the practice of ophthalmology was just beginning in the South—and in the United States. The year was 1872.
