Description
Mayo Clinic’s one-year Glaucoma Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida, combines medical and surgical training, patient care, education, and research. Its “glaucoma-plus-plus” approach offers exposure to a high-volume refractive cataract and glaucoma surgery practice, with mentorship from faculty with private and academic practice backgrounds. Fellows manage complex glaucoma cases alongside other ophthalmology subspecialties and other medical specialties.
The program provides dedicated research and presentation time, with opportunities in clinical trials, clinical outcomes, epidemiology, aqueous humor dynamics, genetics, and novel diagnostic instruments. Clinical training includes traditional and newer subconjunctival procedures, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and cyclodestructive procedures. Fellows also gain experience managing glaucoma in patients with corneal transplants, uveitis, neovascularization, ocular tumors, ocular surface disease, and complex cataract issues.
