Residency Description:

The ocular disease residency at the University of Kentucky Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences is designed to provide the optometric resident with a wide range of clinical experience in the treatment and management of ocular disease. The department provides outpatient and consultative ophthalmology services to the Chandler Medical Center at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, KY. Sub-specialty care is provided in the areas of retina, neuro-ophthalmology, glaucoma, and cornea. Residents will provide coverage for our Urgent Care Clinic (walk-ins), as well as frequent consultation with the sub-specialties listed above. Residents will be expected to attend weekly fluorescein conferences, grand rounds, and other lectures/presentations presented by the ophthalmology faculty. A case presentation or other ocular disease presentation is expected by the optometric resident to the ophthalmology faculty at UK and at the IU residency conference. No on-call duties are currently required.
