Welcome to The University of Chicago's Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science. Our department's shared purpose is to transform lives, today and tomorrow, through our guiding principles of respect and compassion, teamwork, integrity, and innovation. We are pleased to announce the opening of our newly-renovated clinical space located in the Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine on the UChicago campus in Hyde Park.
