Clinical care will emphasize pre and post refractive surgery and corneal transplant patients, as well as the management of anterior segment disease, and corneal dystrophies. Past fellows have continued their careers in academic, hospital, private ophthalmological, and private optometric settings. Program participants will be expected to prepare a publishable paper.
