Research
The Department of Ophthalmology works to advance patient outcomes through
research into the origins of ocular disesase, as well as new diagnostic
and treatment modalities. The visual science community home to the School
of Medicine conducts research in such areas as retinal pathophysiology,
prosthetic vision, novel microsurgical tools, advanced diagnostics and
imaging, therapeutic laser applications, ophthalmic tissue engineering,
corneal prosthetics and ocular microbiology.
Our research efforts span both the basic
sciences and clinical care.
