Established in 1960, the Wills Eye Retina Service offers the oldest vitreoretinal surgery fellowship in the United States and has been instrumental in training more than 200 retinal fellows in the diagnosis and management of retinal and vitreous diseases. The chief goal of the Fellowship is to develop excellence in the medical and surgical care of the retina and vitreous, foster academic research, and develop future leaders in the field of vitreoretinal surgery. Former fellows are program directors, tenured professors, academic researchers and thought leaders. They are in practice in all parts of the United States and Canada, as well as in Puerto Rico, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
