YOU DESERVE MOORE: EXCELLENT SPECIALISTS, LEADING EDGE TECHNOLOGY –
RIGHT IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Established to fill a vital need in the delivery of health care in Philadelphia’s suburbs, Moore Eye Institute provides patients in Delaware and Chester Counties and the Main Line with convenient access to the most advanced equipment and the finest eye specialists, without having to leave their own communities. Our Mission: The Best Eye Care with a Total Human Perspective Moore Eye Institute pioneers a systemic, whole-person, team approach to eye disease while providing leading edge technology. We care for and treat our patients as entire human beings, respecting and considering all aspects of their lives: Family, culture, religion and systemic disease states. Among the greatest fears in America is blindness. Through education and prevention, we reduce our patients’ fears and the risk of losing vision by inspiring them to take positive, proactive steps towards overcoming the obstacles associated with their individual situation.

Medicine has made great strides as advancing technology allows a level of eye care not thought possible until recently. Super-specialization and technology threaten the human touch in the delivery of medicine. Not so at Moore. Moore Eye Institute partners with eye care providers and hospitals to provide access to ultra-sophisticated equipment so that patients can benefit, all the while providing personal care emphasizing prevention as the best treatment. Moore Eye Institute has surgical firsts, including the first to perform indirect laser for retinal tears, one of the first to use the Biome wide field lens in Vitrectomy surgery. We also were on of the first to use perflurocarbon and the first to own the PDT laser once it was FDA approved. In addition, we were one of the first three in America to treat polypoidal choroidal neovascular membranes through digital ICG guidance, which we also were one of the first in the world to introduce.

With all this however, while treatment is our priority, prevention is our goal.

The Moore Eye Institute medical team:

- Treats disease through cutting-edge technology.

“Difference among communities, cultures, races and religions must be respected and understood. Doctors must pay closer attention to the special needs of different groups.” “I commend the doctors of Moore Eye Institute for their innovative approach to the care of their patients. I commend them for going beyond what we usually expect of doctors.”
