Fellowship Description:

The strong emphasis in the program is that of a traditional cornea fellowship, emphasizing the diagnosis and treatment of the broad range of external eye disease and uveitis. Corneal surgeries include penetrating keratoplasty, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty, other lamellar keratoplasty, pterygium surgery, cataract surgery, and the wide range of surgeries for ocular surface disease, including the management of tumors, stem cell deficiencies, and ocular surface reconstruction surgery. The fellowship program is designed to provide the candidate with extensive experience in hands-on corneal surgery, the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of external diseases, both infectious and immunologic, uveitis, and the aforementioned surgical procedures. As a clinically oriented fellowship, it is designed to equip the fellow for either academic or private practice after fellowship training.

In addition to the clinical responsibilities, fellows will be expected to participate in ongoing research projects or to initiate research projects that can be completed during the fellowship year. Fellowship mentors, Drs. Schwab, Feiz, and Mannis, will directly mentor the research activities or will co-mentor them with collaborating basic scientists in our department.

The fellowship is designed to provide the candidate with substantial medical diagnostic as well as hands-on surgical experience. Fellows will participate in faculty call and in the teaching program for the residents-in-training in the Department of Ophthalmology as well.
