Additional Information
The ocular disease residency at the University of Kentucky Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences is designed to provide the optometric resident with a wide range of clinical experience in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease. The department provides the inpatient, outpatient, and consultative ophthalmology services to the Chandler Medical Center at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. Subspecialty care is provided in the areas of retina, oculoplastics, glaucoma, cornea, and refractive surgery. The main UK clinic has over 35,000 patient visits per year. Residents will provide primary care independently, as well as frequent rotation among the subspecialties listed above. Residents will be expected to attend weekly retina conferences, grand rounds, and other lectures/presentations presented by the faculty. A case presentation or other ocular disease presentation is expected by the optometric resident to the faculty and residents at UK and at the IU residency conference.
Our facility is located in the heart of the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington, Kentucky. The 10,000-square-foot eye clinic contains 21 examination lanes, a digital photography system; Humphrey automated visual field instruments, Orbscan corneal topography, OCT imaging system, and Gdx optic nerve analysis. Access to the university medical library and all campus resources are made available to residents.
