Casey Eye Institute

At the OHSU Casey Eye Institute, were working to create a future in which no one has to go blind. The company knows what it takes: accurate diagnosis, timely care and effective treatment. To speed progress toward the company's goal, the company is building a new 60,000-square-foot building next to the company's existing facility. The new facility,... called the Elks Childrens Eye Clinic, will serve as a hub for the company's growing programs and provide space for growth to care for both adults and children. The Elks Childrens Eye Clinic will house some of the company's most important centers and programs. The new clinic will permit the company to expand the company's statewide screening programs, and grow the company's unique programs in the care of Retinopathy of Prematurity, pediatric glaucoma and retinoblastoma. The company's goal is for every child to have access to routine and advanced eye care. Casey is a world leader in clinical trials of gene therapy, and several new treatments tested at Casey have been among the first to show benefits to children with inherited eye disease. The new specialized center will allow the company to offer experimental gene therapy treatments to more patients and continue to be international leaders in gene therapy. Casey is internationally recognized for developing technology that has revolutionized diagnosis and treatment of macular degeneration. The new clinic will incorporate imaging to bring the latest in clinical trials, vision rehabilitation and innovation to the routine care of the growing number of patients with macular degeneration. The company knows what a new facility can do. The construction of the current Casey Eye Institute facility in 1991 was the catalyst for profound growth in every facet of the company's mission: serving patients, discovering new treatments and training specialists. The new building will create the same kind of momentum.Read More
