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 current fellow and wanted to make sure you were all aware of what an exceptional experience this has already been. Last year, I was torn between getting a job or pursuing fellowship. I went on the cornea interview trail and ultimately felt there were few programs that met the requirements I was looking for. I was extremely lucky to learn about this fellowship through a SDN post and hope I can help some of you out there shape your future. I'm humbled every day that these docs let me work with them and their amazing team.
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 is a "hybrid" fellowship that is not associated with a medical school or academic institution. Research opportunities are abundant and the attendings are incredibly active in literature and societies.
We are at the forefront of refractive technology, being the first practice in the state of Ohio to start doing the SMILE, KAMRA, and Raindrop procedures. We have over 5 clinical trials currently operating including new technologies like light adjustable IOLs. We work the Visumax and Intralase femtosecond laser + Visx, Allegretto, and Nidek Excimer lasers! We treat many routine and complex anterior segment pathology with a variety or lasers and MIGS procedures. This fellowship is designed to train the next future leader in the field.
