The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary is an independent, voluntary, non-profit hospital that specializes in the treatment of diseases affecting the eye, ear, nose, and throat. It is the second oldest eye and ear hospital in continuous operation in the United States. The Infirmary was founded as the Boston Eye Infirmary in 1824 by two Boston physicians, Edward Reynolds and John Jeffries, who provided their services without charge to Boston's impoverished residents. In 1827 the Infirmary was incorporated as the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, and in 1925 it became the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
