IRA Celebrates 50 Years of Excellence
Illinois Retina Associates celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. Reaching this milestone is significant to our team for many reasons, as we’ve spent decades investing into our patients’ retinal health and building a thriving community of care in the Midwest and Northwest Indiana.
The central theme of our anniversary is, “Celebrating History, Imagining the Future,” a nod to the achievements of the past and the momentum our practice still has as it reaches this milestone. There are special events and celebrations planned throughout the year to commemorate the occasion.
In the last five decades, Illinois Retina Associates has become an internationally-recognized practice and a Chicago institution. This legacy of care includes top retina specialists, participation in almost 150 clinical trials, and the creation of the Foundation for Sight, which helps fund clinical research studies and educate future retinal specialists. We are also the retina practice of choice for several of Chicago’s professional sports teams.
Most importantly, this 50th anniversary milestone is a recommitment to delivering the best retinal care possible and working to preserve the gift of sight. Fifty years in, we are fortunate to keep receiving wonderful patient reviews and the endorsement of referring providers. We look forward to the next chapter together.
