Hello Anterior Segment/Cornea/Refractive surgery applicants! Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

I want to take a moment to tell you all about an amazing 1-year cataract and refractive surgery fellowship opportunity based out of Cleveland, OH. Cleveland Eye Clinic and Clear Choice Custom LASIK Center is accepting applications on SFMatch.

I am the EXITING fellow (2018-2019) and wanted to make sure you were all aware of what an exceptional experience this was.

This is an ideal fellowship for someone interested in long-lasting career in anterior segment surgery with a strong interest in cataract, refractive (LASIK, PRK, SMILE, ICL, KAMRA, Intacs, Cross Linking, CK), MIGS, efficient private practice, and cutting edge research opportunities with exposure to new products/platforms and industry.

The directors are Dr Bill Wiley and Dr Shamik Bafna (Cornea) who are both renowned in Refractive surgery. You will work with both closely but also they set you up with the fund of knowledge necessary to have and run your own private practice in the future.

The clinics are incredibly efficient due to a great EMR and fantastic support staff. There are opportunities to teach residents at Case Western University and the local VA Hospitals.

This fellowship exceeded my expectations and I'm so grateful that I was able to spend a year here.

I've attached surgical numbers from myself (right column) and the prior fellow to give you an idea of what a year here looks like. Good luck with your SF MATCH.
Everything listed is an individual primary procedure.

There isn't any real cornea in this fellowship (PKP and EK). Great general ophtho and refractive numbers though.
