Medical Education

Ophthalmology at the Cleveland Clinic has a long-standing tradition of providing excellent care for one of the largest and most diverse patient populations in the country. Staffed by internationally recognized experts in their fields, the Cole Eye Institute has taken on a dynamic posture with the mission of becoming the preeminent center for patient care, vision research and education.

Our training program covers the breadth and depth of ophthalmologic subspecialties, including cataract, cornea and external disease, glaucoma, keratorefractive and corneal surgery, neuro-ophthalmology, ocular oncology, oculoplastics and orbital surgery, pediatric ophthalmology, uveitis, vitreoretinal diseases and surgery.

This program also affords the opportunity for research to prepare interested residents for a career in academic ophthalmology. Residents are expected to participate in basic and clinical research projects and are encouraged to present findings at national meetings.

We are excited by the continuing innovation and excellence that characterize the Cole Eye Institute.
