Your Support Makes a Difference

At the Mason Eye Institute, we want everyone to see, and to see clearly. As a patient or friend of the Mason Eye Institute, you know better than most that the precious gift of sight should never be taken for granted. Your contributions help us provide the very best care to patients, fund innovative research programs and bring us closer to finding effective treatments and cures for diseases and disorders of the eye.
Our physicians, nurses and other health professionals
not only care for patients, but also are educators
and researchers. As such, they continuously teach,
study and apply the latest treatments. Our special
combination of medical science and practice ensures
that our patients receive the highest-quality care.
The National Institutes of Health predicts that
due to the aging population, blinding diseases will
increase by 70% between now and 2020. But we
don’t have to accept these statistics. Your support
helps the Mason Eye Institute stay at the forefront
of medical advances in eye care — and gives the
gift of sight to people across Missouri and all around
the world.
How You Can Help
Your gift to the Mason Eye Institute — no matter
the size — helps to pave the way for better treatment
and cures of blinding diseases.
Grateful Patient Gifts
You can say “thank you” to the people who helped
when you needed them most. If you’ve been
especially pleased with the service and treatment
you or a family member experienced at the
Mason Eye Institute, you may make a
special gift to recognize the quality
of care you received.
Tribute Gifts
A gift in memory or in honor of a
physician, loved one, or friend is
a thoughtful way to recognize a
person’s life and accomplishments.
When an honorary or memorial
gift is made, your contribution will
be acknowledged to the person or
family you designate.
All philanthropic contributions to the
Mason Eye Institute are tax-deductible
