Research is a major component of the Department of Ophthalmology and it encompasses both the basic and clinical sciences.

The University of Missouri/ Mason Eye Institute is proud to offer three fellowship in vitreoretinal disease and surgery, glaucoma and anterior segment surgery, and cornea, external disease and refractive surgery.

Our goal is to develop ophthalmologists who can provide quality eye care to meet the needs of patients both now and in the future, and who can contribute to the field of ophthalmology through participation in research.

The MU School of Medicine Ophthalmology residency program is one of the premier ophthalmic surgery training programs in the United States.

At the University of Missouri School of Medicine's Department of Ophthalmology, we are committed to skilled, compassionate care.
