A new $5 million donation to University Hospitals Eye Institute will enable the Cleveland hospital to expand its treatment and research into diabetic and age-related eye diseases.
The gift will help University Hospitals (UH) expand services to patients and purchase imaging instruments to study retinal diseases, The Plain Dealer reported.

The TSX Venture Exchange has a strong history of helping early-stage health and life sciences companies raise patient capital for research and development.
The donation comes from the Elisabeth Severance Prentiss Foundation and brings to $50 million the foundation’s total donations to UH. That makes Prentiss the largest private foundation donor in UH history.
The donation will fund work by UH’s Center for Retina and Macular Disease in retina diseases, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration.
