The LLUH Ophthalmology’s mission is to support the overall development of the Loma Linda University by engaging all alumni for life, constructing a culture of philanthropy, and being the recognized voice for all Loma Linda University Eye Institute’s alumni.

Ophthalmology Alumni support the countless teaching and learning activities for Residents and Faculty. The generous donations go to equipment purchases, wet-labs and creating an advanced teaching environment of future ophthalmologists.

Residency Zoom-A-Thon - 2025

On Thursday, June 19th, 2025, we hosted our residency Zoom-a-thon where Dr. Rauser and Dr. Perea shared exciting progress within the Department of Ophthalmology. They announced the expansion of our residency program from 15 to 21 residents and provided updates on our growing research enterprise—including a new basic science lab, innovations in surgical training, and promising clinical trials. This growth reflects our vision to become a leading center for both patient care and physician training. We invite you to watch the Zoom-a-thon and learn how you can help fuel this momentum.
