Doheny Eye Institute was proud to host an Ask the Doctor program featuring SriniVas R. Sadda, MD, bringing together more than 75 guests for an engaging and informative discussion.

Dr. Sadda highlighted the latest advances in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including current treatments and what’s on the horizon. He also discussed how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of patient care and how it is opening the door to earlier detection, more precise monitoring, and improved outcomes.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful conversation, and for supporting the research that continues to move vision care forward.

Congratulations to Victoria Tseng, MD, PhD, on receiving the American Glaucoma Society Mid-Career Physician Scientist Award.

This award supports innovative research by mid-career investigators, and Dr. Tseng’s work is a great example of that impact. Her project will explore how external stressors influence glaucoma progression, using large-scale population data to better understand both disease prevalence and the need for surgical intervention.

We’re proud to see this important work recognized and supported.

145 experts. 13 countries. One shared goal: advancing macular research.

The Ryan Initiative for Macular Research (RIMR) Annual Conference brought together global leaders across AI, imaging, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine. It was supported by 17 industry partners and a shared commitment to progress.

Highlights included the David Hinton Memorial Lecture by Constance Cepko, PhD, showcasing new approaches to oxidative damage in the eye.

Because accelerating discovery takes collaboration.

Today’s CME conference was a true full-circle moment, as we welcomed back Doheny alumni who are now helping shape the future of ophthalmology across Southern California.

It was especially meaningful to bring together such an accomplished community of clinicians, educators, and leaders for a day of learning, connection, and shared purpose. The strong, collegial relationship between Doheny and Stein faculty was on full display, reflecting a shared commitment to bringing the latest advances in vision care to patient care.

A special thank you to course co-directors Drs. Victoria Yom, Ken Lu, Jonathan Macy, and Ben Bert, who worked hard to put together an outstanding program. We were honored to host such a warm, collaborative, and inspiring meeting.

🏃‍♂️ The Doheny Run Club in action!

After a full day in clinic, Dr. Bert, Dr. Francis, clinical fellow Dr. Hyelin You, and clinic team members Luis Raygoza and David Cho rallied for a Rose Bowl loop run.

From the “before” smiles to the “after” victory shot, the Doheny Run Club clearly conquered the loop at the Rose Bowl. 💪

Just another example of the incredible camaraderie at Doheny — bringing the same energy, teamwork, and dedication to the track as they do to caring for patients every day.

✨ Timeless Elegance at the Luminaires Founders Benefit ✨

Today, nearly 250 wonderful women gathered at the beautiful Langham Huntington in Pasadena for the annual Luminaires Founders Benefit Fashion Show Luncheon. It was a truly special afternoon celebrating community, philanthropy, and style.

This year’s Timeless Elegance–themed event featured a stunning fashion show by Robert Ellis Boutique, delighting guests while supporting the vital mission of Doheny Eye Institute.

A highlight of the afternoon was the presentation of The Vision Award to Mary Catherine Cooper, a devoted Luminaires member since 2000. Mary Catherine has been a steadfast supporter of both the Luminaires and Doheny Eye Institute. We are profoundly grateful for her passion, guidance, generous patronage, and inspirational presence within our community.

Dr. Benjamin Bert was also on hand to toast Mary Catherine and thank her for her warm spirit and dedicated service to her community—making the moment even more meaningful.

Heartfelt thanks to our incredible benefit leadership:
Jennifer Cooper and Peggy Schmid, Benefit Co-Chairs;
Judy Kloner, Benefit Advisor;
