What a joyful way to celebrate the season 🎄

Today, more than 100 staff and faculty from Doheny Eye Institute and Doheny Eye Centers UCLA came together for our annual Doheny Holiday Luncheon.

From a lively photo booth complete with props, to a delicious meal catered by Stonefire Grill, it was a wonderful afternoon filled with laughter, connection, and holiday cheer.

A heartfelt thank-you to the Doheny Human Resources team for making this special celebration possible. We missed most of our colleagues from our Arcadia and Fountain Valley locations and look forward to celebrating together soon.

So grateful for this incredible community and all that we accomplish together throughout the year.

Today, December 3, we recognize the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Around the world, more than 1.3 billion people live with a significant disability, and vision loss remains a major part of that global challenge. At Doheny Eye Institute, our researchers and clinician-scientists are working to better understand, diagnose, and treat blinding eye diseases so fewer lives are defined by vision loss. Today and every day, we remain committed to protecting sight and preserving independence.

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity helps fuel sight-saving discoveries at Doheny Eye Institute. Every gift supports the researchers, clinicians, and trainees working to prevent blindness and restore vision for future generations. Join us in making an impact that truly changes lives.

Serious vision loss is among the top 10 most common disabilities in U.S. adults and often leads to less independence, a higher risk of falls, and a reduced quality of life. In our continued support of the National Alliance for Eye and Vision Research (NAEVR), we’ve joined the campaign to highlight why vision research must remain a national priority. Vision is priceless—and continued research is essential to preserving it.
