Elks Children’s Eye Clinic

For more than 50 years the Elks Children’s Eye Clinic has provided the best eye care for children in the Pacific Northwest. Besides caring for children from across the state - and even around the world - our ophthalmologists teach young eye doctors to serve children of the future and explore new treatments for our smallest patients. The Oregon State Elks have been generous and loyal partners in our success. It is your critical philanthropic support that allows us to create miracles for children and to provide the very best in eye care. Since the current clinic was constructed ten years ago.

• Pediatric patient care has doubled-we are now serving 8,000 children a year!
• Research has tripled
• Staff has almost doubled

Yet space has not changed at all!

The Elks Children’s Eye Clinic extension is the largest single component of the $26 million planned expansion of the Casey Eye Institute. Over the next three years, we will more than double the space at the Elks Children's Eye Clinic to provide more patient care, and laboratory space on the 3rd floor will double.

By adding space, we will:

• Increase pediatric care by 50 percent
• Further enhance pediatric ophthalmology training
• Expand research, especially in those areas of molecular genetics that hold such promise for treating pediatric eye disorders
