Since
1832, Wills Eye Hospital has had an extraordinary academic and
clinical environment with a rich history of training many generations
of physicians. Wills pioneered the development of ophthalmology
as a separate branch of medicine, and created the nation's first
ophthalmology residency program in 1839.
The Glaucoma Service is an important part of
this tradition of excellence, attracting future leaders in glaucoma
research, teaching, and patient care. Many of our clinical and
research fellows have gone on to become Department Chairs around
the world, and they form an influential group of colleagues devoted
to understanding glaucoma.
