Fellowship
Fellows benefit from a broad range of surgical exposure, as they operate with 10 surgical faculty, who take care of a diverse patient population.

The Glaucoma Fellowship at Wills Eye has been training glaucoma specialists for more than 55 years. During this time, the fellowship program has graduated leaders in the field of ophthalmology throughout the United States and around the world. Members of the glaucoma service and past fellows include presidents of the American Glaucoma Society, senior members of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, as well as ophthalmology department chairs and division chiefs.
The fellowship program strives to prepare glaucoma specialists with superior clinical skills, knowledge, and judgement who will make major contributions to their community. Fellows truly benefit from exposure to cutting-edge surgical techniques, state-of-the-art imaging technology, and diagnosis and management of complex glaucoma cases.
Fellows benefit from a broad range of surgical exposure, as they operate with 10 surgical faculty, who take care of a diverse patient population.
Our goal is to train research fellows to advance the field of glaucoma by conducting high level, evidence-based research.
