The Center for Vision Care

The Center for Vision Care is a full service ophthalmology center. It accommodates a resident training facility and a sub-specialty consultation center. It also provides a clinical elective for medical students.

Department of Ophthalmology physicians and faculty members are the ophthalmic tertiary care providers for this region.

Services offered include:

• retinal evaluations
