Cornea and External Disease Fellowship

Program Description

The Cornea Service at the University of Michigan is a consulting service in corneal and external disease and refractive surgery with an emphasis on keratoplasty. It offers two one-year fellowships. Two residents and two fellows are on the Cornea Service at any one time. Approximately 250 keratoplasties (penetrating and endothelial), 20 keratoprostheses, 300 refractive surgeries, and 500 cataract surgeries are performed annually. We currently have a Technolas 217 excimer laser and an Intralase laser and perform LASIK, PRK, femtosecond laser-assisted keratoplasty, and intracorneal rings. It is anticipated that fellows would assist on 75 to 100 keratoplasties, perform about 60 as primary surgeon, and participate in a program of laboratory and clinical research. The fellows will also perform refractive surgery. The fellows' responsibility is to the Cornea and External Disease Service, with clinics during all weekdays and scheduled operating room time four days per week.
