  • Clinical

    Cataract and Refractive Surgery - A relatively new subspecialty within ophthalmology which involves the surgical management of refractive errors in the human eye.

    Cornea and External Disease - This subspecialty involves the diagnosis and management of diseases of the cornea, sclera, conjunctiva and eyelids, including dystrophies, infections, tumors, and ocular manifestations of systemic diseases.

    General and Comprehensive Ophthalmology - An ophthalmologist (Eye MD) specially trained to provide the full spectrum of eye care (medical and surgical management), from prescribing glasses and contact lenses to complex and delicate eye surgery.
