U.S. News & World Report has ranked the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah among the nation鈥檚 Top 10 eye centers for a third year running.
The Moran Eye Center ranked No. 10 in the magazine鈥檚 2024-2025 Best Hospitals for Ophthalmology report. U.S. News & World Report bases its rankings on voting results asking ophthalmologists nationwide where they would send their patients with the most complex eye conditions. The magazine only publishes rankings for institutions that receive at least 5% of votes over a three-year period.
鈥淚 am grateful to my colleagues for this recognition of the outstanding specialty care at the Moran Eye Center,鈥 said Moran CEO and Distinguished Professor Randall J Olson, MD. 鈥淭his ranking marks our third year in the Top 10 and the word is out: Utah is home to some of the best eye care that patients facing sight-threatening diseases and conditions can find in the United States.鈥

Moran is the largest ophthalmology clinical care and research center in the Mountain West and has 10 satellite clinics.
