Ophthalmology

Our providers specialize in diagnosis and treatment of complex eye problems including those that require surgery. These include anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (anti-VEGF therapy) treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration, cataract surgery, diabetic retinopathy, other retinal and corneal disease, and glaucoma.

Our providers

Ophthalmologists are MD physicians who have completed four years of medical school followed by an internship and a 3-year ophthalmology residency, training in all aspects (basic, intermediate and advanced) of eye care. Many ophthalmologists undergo additional years of training, including 1 or 2- year fellowships in glaucoma, retinal and vitreous diseases, cornea and external diseases, uveitis (inflammation), neuro-ophthalmology, or orbit (eye socket) and oculoplastic surgery, which allows them to bring specialized expertise to our Veterans.
