A collaboration between physician-scientists at Wilmer and Chiang Mai University in Thailand is laying the groundwork for a model designed to prevent blindness in babies around the world who are born with retinopathy of prematurity.

A major gift from longtime Wilmer supporters will allow for the nationwide expansion of a Baltimore-based program that provides children in high-poverty schools with the vision care and eyeglasses they need.

A generous gift will help jump-start the research of promising young Johns Hopkins Medicine faculty members — including nine at the Wilmer Eye Institute who are pursuing a wide range of research topics.

The James P. Gills Jr., M.D., & Heather Gills Artificial Intelligence Innovation Center at Wilmer will bring together clinical, scientific and infrastructure resources for investigators to apply AI in research, medical education and patient care.

In 1977, Becky Stirn was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease that affects connective tissues in various parts of the body, including the eye. Today, she is helping to support vital research aimed at slowing or stopping progression of genetic eye disease.

While clinical trials hold out hope for people with genetic eye disease, researchers have been challenged in measuring whether — and how effectively the latest gene and stem cell therapies are working. A new state-of-the-art mobility lab provides quantifiable measures to help to advance the science and the cures.

A new rising professorship will allow renowned teacher Bryn Burkholder to dedicate more time to educating the next generation of ophthalmology leaders.

When surgery to remove a brain tumor left Laura Newman with double vision and misaligned eyes, a team of doctors at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Wilmer Eye Institute collaborated to resolve her problems.
