Sight is one of the most precious gifts we have in this life, and the prospect of losing vision is one of our greatest fears. At the Moore Eye Institute, we offer more ways to preserve, diagnose, treat and care for people with eye disease. Our unique and pioneering approach keeps us at the forefront in the ever-evolving treatment of eye disease in America, as well as internationally.
To be a leader, a practice needs to offer a lot for you to trust your eyes to. Moore’s approach includes groundbreaking technology - but that is only part of the story of how we have become as recognized as we are. Our advanced treatment techniques are inspiring, and incorporates our global team approach to illness and the support for the entire person, not just the eyes. Our renowned institute started with a dream of a vision of caring provided by physicians whose own family members had blinding disorders. This ideas grew into a comprehensive network of patients and physicians of all specialties, advanced education, support, and community service. All of these elements have become the foundation of Moore Eye and has enabled us to become international leaders in eye care. Come with us through this website as you learn why this institute truly offers something “Moore” than anywhere else in the world. Discover our inspirational effective care for diabetes, macular degeneration, advanced cataract and glaucoma care and so much more. We are truly here to make a difference – and we do that more each day

whose struggles with macular
degeneration inspired him to establish
the Moore Eye Institute.
When I was a boy, I witnessed the gradual loss of my grandmother’s eyesight. Her greatest fear was that one day she would be blind. I remember feeling frustrated and helpless as doctor after doctor prescribed no aid and little hope or emotional support for her eye disease.
Determined, I accompanied my grandmother to Boston, where she met with one of the country’s best retina specialists at Harvard. He recommended cataract surgery, low vision aids, and visual rehabilitation by optometrists to maximize her vision. More importantly, he allayed her fear of blindness and educated us about her disease.
Years later, I went to Harvard to become a retina surgeon. My grandmother’s experiences and those of my grandfather who went blind from diabetes, inspired me to create a different kind of eye hospital. The Moore Eye Institute is distinguished by the caring interactions between patients and members of our highly regarded medical staff.
Crozer Keystone’s Springfield Hospital deserves a lot of credit in the Moore Eye story. It dared to dream that such a facility could be created. I am honored they allowed the Institute to be named after my beloved grandmother, Belle Moore, making a small boy’s dream come alive. The dream I continue to have, which finally has been accomplished, was to bring together the finest, most caring physicians who don’t sit on an ivory perch but who work with a patient to maximize their vision, prevent disease, answer their questions and treat the person – not just their eyes. I invite you and your doctors to get to know us.
We welcome you to the Moore Eye Institute, where we believe the best treatment comes from caring.
