The one- or two-year Glaucoma Fellowship provides clinical and laboratory
experience in glaucoma diagnosis and management for applicants who are
preparing for an academic career in ophthalmology.
Research: Fellows are expected to undertake
at least one research project that can be accomplished during the fellowship
period. This project, which may be a clinical study or an applied research
project in the laboratory, is performed in cooperation with the faculty
advisor. Use of the excellent facilities in eye pathology is encouraged.
Vision scientists, including biochemists, physiologists, pathologists,
anatomists and clinical ophthalmologists, are amenable to collaborating
on worthwhile projects.

Clinical Experience: Clinical experience
is gained by working with the faculty advisor in the consultation suite
examining patients and participating in clinical and surgical management.
Fellows assist in glaucoma surgical cases and perform surgery under the
guidance of the program director. They work in the glaucoma microsurgical
laboratory, participate in microsurgery courses for resident and practicing
physicians, assist in the Glaucoma Clinic, and develop expertise in the
various diagnostic techniques used in glaucoma treatment through preceptor-type
relationships with faculty.
