The Center offers one of the most comprehensive introductory eye care courses in the country to third-year medical students. The residency program is among the nation’s most prominent. Fellows benefit from the integration of clinical service and the wealth of new and unfolding discoveries of world-renown researchers.

Ophthalmologists from around the world seek post-residency training at the LSU Eye Center to gain further education and experience ophthalmic subspecialties including glaucoma, corneal disease and refractive surgery, and retina and vitreous diseases. Fellows refine the skills they will need to be practicing clinicians or to go into academic medicine. They work closely with faculty physicians to care for patients, participate in both laboratory science and clinical research, and assist in training ophthalmology residents in eight different medical settings.
