Fellowships in Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery provide special
training to physicians who have completed Ophthalmology residency training
and are interested in specializing in orbital and adnexal disorders and
surgery. The Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Service conjoins efforts
of the neuro-ophthalmology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery and ocular pathology
units in diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the optic nerve,
orbit and adjacent tissues (paranasal sinuses and intracranial tissues)
that affect vision and ocular motility. The fellowships are approved by
the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Research: Fellows participate extensively
in the research activities of the Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery
Division, including investigations into the anatomy of the orbit and orbital
apex, the use of new instrumentation, and clinical evaluations pertinent
to the field. In addition to publishing results of original research in
peer-reviewed scientific journals, fellows complete a formal thesis that
partially satisfies the membership requirements of the American Society
of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Teaching: As part of the Orbital and Ophthalmic
Plastic Surgery Continuing Education Program, several surgical and dissection
workshops, including a seminar on eyelid and orbit surgery, are held each
