The Ophthalmology department is headquartered at Childrens
Hospital in downtown Buffalo, NY. Our mission is
the preservation of sight through excellence in patient
care, education, and research.
Our department is comprised of highly skilled ophthalmologists
and professional staff who can provide a complete range of
medical and surgical management of both routine and complex
eye disorders. Our specialty services include cornea and external
disease, neuro-ophthalmology, oculoplastic surgery, ophthalmic
pathology, pediatric ophthalmology, and retina and vitreous
disorders. Medical residents and fellows train under close
supervision of senior faculty physicians.
In the clinics, as well as in laboratories on the University
at Buffalo campus, dedicated researchers work to provide new
knowledge that will eventually lead to advances in patient
care. On this web site, information will be provided regarding
access to clinical care, descriptions of faculty members,
as well as news concerning eye health and advances in research.
We hope you will find the information useful, and we welcome
your comments and questions about the Ophthalmology department.
