Key Residency Information:

Residency Description:

Residents have the opportunity to work with physicians who are fellowship trained in every major ophthalmic subspecialty. Extensive training and experience in the interpretation of fluorescein angiograms and the diagnosis and treatment of medical retina disorders are integral parts of the program. Residents rotate on the neuro-ophthalmology, low vision, and contact lens services during their first year. Second year rotations include oculoplastics and pediatric ophthalmology, where residents are exposed to a full range of medical and surgical pathology. Extensive experience in surgical and non-surgical management of strabismus is obtained, and the pediatric eye exam and management of amblyopia is emphasized throughout all three years of training. Third year rotations focus on the medical and surgical management of patients with glaucoma, cataract and other anterior segment disorders, and vitreroetinal disorders.
