Program Description:
This Fellowship program provides a balanced and extensive education experience in both the medical and surgical aspects of glaucoma. You will spend about 60% of your time seeing glaucoma outpatients, and about 25% in surgery. Typical surgical volumes range from 50-70 glaucoma cases as primary surgeon. Teaching activities with residents at the VA, reading and study, and seeing unscheduled acute glaucoma patients referred to the glaucoma service occupy the remaining time. There are opportunities for a variety of clinical and basic science research projects, but you are not obligated to participate.
