Ophthalmology (Israel Englander Department of Ophthalmology)
The Israel Englander Department of Ophthalmology serves a complete range of eye specialties, including cataract, cornea and glaucoma care. Physicians cater both to common conditions- from contact lens prescriptions to accurate eyeglasses, and rare conditions - from artificial corneal replacement to complicated retinal detachment. The department offers clinical trials on therapies such as new forms of laser on diabetic macular edema, while researchers study ocular disease. Education is a priority for the department, which offers competitive fellowship programs and public education on eye health.
