Event chairwoman Alison Winter of Pasadena and her committee planned a special day to honor the medical professionals, the research scientists and the support staff of this outstanding organization.

Opening with a boutique featuring a variety of popular vendors, the Luminaries gathered together to celebrate not only the move of the Doheny Eye Institute to Pasadena, but to be together again, in person.

Held at the Jonathan Club in Los Angeles, the event featured a special menu planned by the Chef of the club especially for the Luminaries. The Satellite Sisters: Lian Dolan and Liz Dolan were the entertainment for the luncheon. Lian introduced guests to her latest book, Lost and Found in Paris. She also produces Satellite Sisters, a podcast recorded weekly with her sisters Julie and Liz.

Doheny Eye Institute is a not-for-profit scientific, educational and clinical enterprise dedicated to excellence in vision research and ophthalmologic care. At the Doheny Research Institute, new, non-invasive imaging techniques are being developed and exploited that reveal microscopic features about blood vessels, neurons and the delicate parts of the eye that reflect damage occurring elsewhere in the body. Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s other degenerative diseases, and even aging, can be detected, characterized and monitored by scientists at Doheny, allowing for the measurement via the eye of effective, new treatments of these scourges.
