latest techniques in refractive surgery. Education & Training
The Department’s three-year residency program is one of the most competitive in the country. The fellowship training offers numerous clinical, surgical, research and teaching opportunities in the areas of cornea, external disease and refractive surgery, vitreoretinal disease and surgery, and neuro-ophthalmology/orbital disease and surgery.

Through their research, our faculty members contribute to medicine's base of knowledge of ocular diseases through efforts aimed at new treatments for the prevention and treatment of blinding disorders.

Global outreach in action - hello from the Dominican Republic! ✈️👁️

Our ophthalmology team is on the ground and already making an impact. Drs. Matthew Ohr, William Bloom (PGY3), and Robert Chambers (alumnus '85) arrived in the Dominican Republic yesterday for a global outreach trip focused on education, collaboration, and advancing eye care.

From Dr. Ohr’s lecture to time spent connecting with local residents and trainees, this trip reflects our shared commitment to improving vision care far beyond our own community. Following Drs. Christine Martinez and Maddie Hecker’s (PGY3) outreach trip to the Dominican Republic just last month, we’re proud to continue building these meaningful global partnerships and expanding access to expert eye care.
