Additional Information
The optometric refractive and ocular surgery residency program at the Wang Vision Institute offers focused training in surgical co-management of all types of refractive surgery--including LASIK, PRK, PTK, CK, Custom CAP, and ICLs as well as treatment of ocular disease. The clinic specializes in technologically advanced refractive surgical correction, anterior segment reconstructive surgery, and correction of post-refractive surgery complications. In addition to refractive surgery and cataract surgery, the doctors see patients for routine care and diagnosis and management of ocular disease. Our facility is involved in the FDA clinical trial for SSP (scleral spacing procedure).
The Wang Vision Institute is a state-of-the-art facility located in Nashville, Tennessee. The facility has 7 examination lanes (2 have digital anterior segment cameras) and 3 specialty rooms. The surgical suite currently holds a VISX Star 4 Excimer laser, the Intralase laser, and a conductive keratoplasty system. It is also equipped with various other pieces of special testing equipment--including an A-scan, B-scan, ultrasound pachymeters, topographers used in research (the Humphrey Atlas, the Orbscan, AstraMax 3-D system, Pentacam Scheimpflug topography), a VisanteTM OCT Anterior Segment Imaging/Biometry, an Ocular Response Analyzer, a Humphrey visual field analyzer, and both the VISX Wavescan and Tracey Ray Tracing systems.
The residents function independently as well as in coordination with Helen Boerman, OD, FAAO, Dora Stzipanovitz, OD, Shawna Hill, OD, FAAO, and Ming Wang, MD, PhD.
