Fellowship Description:

The program provides outstanding hands-on training in the medical and surgical management of difficult neuro-ophthalmology, oculoplastic and orbital cases in adult, adolescents and children.

Surgical procedures performed by the fellow as primary surgeon include all neuro-ophthalmic, oculoplastics and orbital surgery cases. The fellow will spend time between four faculty preceptors who have busy private practices and extensive track records in training previous fellows. There is structured interaction with residents in a very busy, high volume training program that utilizes Parkland Memorial Hospital and Children's Medical Center, and John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. In addition, the preceptors admit private patients to Zale Lipshy University Hospital and St. Paul University Hospital. All hospitals have fully equipped operating rooms.

Clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including Humphrey visual field analyzers, Heidelberg Retina Topography and Optical Coherence Tomography. Typically, previous years indicate that the fellow performed well over 100 cases as primary surgeon and have assisted in over 200 other procedures.
