Glaucoma

Glaucoma fellowship provides specialized training in the diagnosis, management, and surgical treatment of glaucoma, a complex eye disease characterized by optic nerve damage and vision loss. These fellowships are typically one year long, although some programs offer an optional additional research year for those interested in academic careers.

Structure and Training

Clinical Experience

Fellows gain extensive clinical exposure, working closely with experienced faculty in outpatient clinics and surgical settings. They are involved in managing challenging glaucoma cases and performing a variety of surgical procedures, including:

  • Trabeculectomy
  • Glaucoma drainage implants (e.g., Ahmed and Baerveldt)
  • Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS)
  • Cyclophotocoagulation

Fellows are expected to perform a significant number of procedures to ensure proficiency, with programs requiring a minimum of 1,000 patient evaluations and various surgical experiences.

Glaucoma fellowships are essential for ophthalmologists seeking to specialize in this critical area of eye care. They provide comprehensive training that equips fellows with the necessary skills to manage complex glaucoma cases and contribute to advancements in the field through research and education.
