Department of Ophthalmology

The Department of Ophthalmology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine houses specialists in cornea, glaucoma, pediatric ophthalmology, oculoplastics, refractive surgery, retina, and comprehensive ophthalmology. We are a nationally recognized vision care center, medical and surgical eye care center, and vision research center providing top-quality care and advanced research in medical diseases and disorders of the eye. We are also a leading referral center in the Midwest.

Our physicians are renowned experts with advanced training, and our facilities have the latest equipment, enabling us to provide the best care available. Our faculty includes 30 full-time members (including 5 full-time laboratory researchers), 5 part-time members, 62 contributed service members (community physicians on our faculty), 2 retina fellows, 1 pediatric fellow and 12 residents.

Quality patient care and state-of-the-art vision science research play a major role in our mission. Our residency and fellowship programs are among the finest in the country. Our clinical and basic science researchers continue to make major contributions to the understanding of medical diseases and disorders of the eye and our ability to treat them.

We offer a full spectrum of eye care for all ages. Services range from diagnostics and treatment to complete surgical intervention, including ambulatory services at Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation, Glenbrook Hospital, Children’s Memorial Hospital, the VA Chicago Health System, Evanston Hospital and inpatient care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH), a premier academic teaching hospital. Our team of highly qualified physicians and allied health care professionals work together to serve you and maintain your vision.
