RESIDENT TRAINING

Cornea, External Disease, and Refractive Surgery Clinics are conducted three half-days per week, concurrently with a Contact Lens Clinic. Approximately 2,500 patients are seen per year in the Cornea Clinic and 1,500 patients in the Contact Lens Clinic. Resident clinics and surgery are staffed at all times by an attending physician.

All of our attending staff has completed fellowship training in corneal and refractive surgery. Instruction in the surgical treatment of corneal diseases includes lectures and wetlab courses given in our microsurgical laboratory. Nonemergent corneal surgery is regularly scheduled one day per week. Residents also receive external extensive training in laser vision correction, including lectures and attendance at laser and keratome courses throughout the year. Residents will have the opportunity to perform laser vision correction procedures and will achieve certification in these techniques prior to the end of their residency.

Residents and fellows are encouraged to initiate and complete research projects in either the clinical or basic sciences. Numerous abstracts, presentations, and manuscripts are generated annually and accepted in peer-reviewed journals.
