Join Our Commitment To End Blindness & Give The Gift of Vision

How Your Donation Makes a Difference

For over 30 years, the philanthropic support from generous individuals, foundations and corporations has provided the Department of Ophthalmology with valuable resources for patient care, research, education and community service.

Every donation makes an impact on our patients, faculty and staff, as well as the field of Ophthalmology. We cherish the partnership that we have developed with those generous members of the community who invest in us. There are also naming opportunities for gifts including: endowed chairs, laboratories, specialized ophthalmic clinics and research initiatives.

Help us make a difference by joining the fight against blindness

Patient Testimonials

"I have nothing but good things to say about Shiley. I have been a patient there for more than 25yrs. I have had so many complications with my vision, and have seen various specialists at Shiley.. The doctors there are top notch, and have saved my eyesight on several occasions with emergency situations. Thank goodness We have Shiley here in San Diego."

Valerie Targia

Visitor

"I am extremely impressed with the Coronavirus preventative measures they have in place. I had some anxiety when I needed to go there for an appointment after the precautions went into effect. They have social distancing inside and outside the building. Every person wears a mask. Hand sanitizer is at the entrance and no one is allowed in until 12 questions are answered and your temperature is taken."
